Outlet dept. has Big Agnes Seedhouse 3 Person Tent w/ Cross-Over Pole & FootprintBig at $222.57, Anyone knows the differences between that tent and this Agnes Seedhouse SL 3 Tent priced at $419.95?

Looks to me that the only difference is the pole material. Thus, you are paying 200 extra for one less pound in your pack.

what does it mean that it is not "seam sealed?"

A 'seam seal' is a coating for fabrics that makes it waterproof at the seams. Most materials are relatively waterproof on their own, but having sealed seams is pretty important.

There are a couple of options. One is to seal the seams yourself. Something like this item will do the trick.

Alternately, I absolutely love my MSR Hubba Hubba HP tent. Most other people love theirs too. Take a look at the Hubba Hubba and the 3-person Mutha Hubba and consider getting those.

----
SOmeone else here -
I disagree, some tents, though not seam sealed are still waterproof. This is basically arguing semantics though. Big agnes does not use the same term that MSR does. Check out Big agnes' site and see for yourself - http://www.bigagnes.com/str_tents.php?bid=8
Also Bathtub floors are one piece, they are no seams so there are no need to be seam sealed.
You will notice that if you pay 400 bones for any tent they are going to keep you dry. I love my Big agnes tent. MSr are cool but man this seedhouse series is insane and super light.

Nice Tent

By: Sierra Hiker(1)

Great tent for two people. Cool looking design. Plenty of elbow room. The square footage versus weight was the best I could find...... 36 square feet / 4+ pounds. The 46 inch height is relatively decent, too. Easy to set-up. The all-in-one rain fly/vestibule had ample tie-downs to keep it taut for high winds. The color (sage) blended nicely with the forest / granite surroundings. The interior side and overhead pockets for small gear kept the inside clutter to a minimum. Without the rain fly, it's a summer delight for viewing stars. Excellent quality / workmanship.
