I was wondering if the Mountain Hardwear Helion 2 has the same problem with the rain fly requiring the staking of guy lines for it to function properly (as rgmaher225901 and A.R.M. talk about).

Hi Andrew, Pretty much any rain fly will require you to stake it out to gain the functionality of the vestibule, regardless of manufacturer. Check out the Big Agnes Emerald Mountain SL series for a tent that has the brow pole reach to the ground (I believe, but am not sure, if the rain fly connects to this point so you don't have to stake it out). Hope this helps!
