Hi! I am 6'2" and 190 lbs with an athletic build, and I am interested in buying a light-weight solo tent. I have looked around at a bunch of different ones, and am inclined to go with the MH stiletto. Does anyone have any opinions? My biggest concern is making sure that I will fit in the tent, from the above reviews I am not sure if I will or not. My other worry is that this is not a free standing tent, has anyone found this to be a major annoyance camping on rocky/frozen ground? Thanks!!!!!!

You might want to check out the Big Agnes tents, Fly Creek UL1, Seedhouse SL 1, Copper Spur UL 1, and Emerald Mountain SL 1. Fly Creek and Seedhouse you'd have to stake out to maximize the floorspace and keep the rainfly of the tent body and decrease condensation/increase ventilation, but both are freestanding. The Copper Spur and Emerald Mountain are both free standing and do not need to staked out. The Fly Creek and Seedhouse are both lighter, while the Copper Spur and Emerald Mountain will both be slightly heavier.

Well A guy below is 6'3" and 225 and he says he is comfortable so I would go with that although he might be used to cramped quarters. Other than that this is a solid tent-you definitely get what you pay for. I have the MH Sprite (which is not free standing either) and it can be somewhat annoying pitching it on rocky or super hard packed ground, but that is what hammers/nalgenes are for.
