I think what you will find with the Hubba Hubba is that it has more livable space inside. This has been achieved by designing into it vertical walls. It's incredibly easy to set up and the two large 7 sq.ft vestibules make life so much easier when backpacking. Material wise, the Hubba Hubba has a 10,000mm polyurethane coated floor which is unheard of when talking about lightweight 3 season backpacking tents. The warranty is excellent with an unconditional lifetime warranty on the poles (if anything happens to the poles at any time, MSR will replace them). The body and fly have a limited lifetime warranty (limited to manufacturing defects). The footprint is about 6 oz. and is useful in keeping the tent looking new, but can also be used to set up the fly and poles to create an ultra-light shelter if bugs aren't a concern.
