We did a weight comparison and from memory it was splitting hairs. Agreed the carbon will be more rigid however the alloy is less prone to cracking

I had an issue with a carbon pole cracking/splitting but kuiu were great with warranty

Used the mountain star 2 and msr hubba hubba 2 back to back and found the msr was more spacious inside, quicker to erect with experience as mountain star was new. I did find when packing up that the mountain star tent bag is rather pathetic. So far it's a positive change from msr to kuiu in the tent department .
