Is having only one door versus two going to be a big drawback? I plan to use this with my hiking buddy and I'm debating between this tent and the REI Half Dome 2. Should you always go for the two door option when using the tent for two people?

In my opinion, having only one door for two people is a big pain in the butt. I use the 2P when I am going solo and take my 2 door tent when my wife is with me.

You may want to consider the Limelight 3P is you are considering the Half Dome. The 3P has two vestibules and a ton of interior room. I use the 3P for car camping and when my wife joins me.

For a smaller tent, a second door is nice for 2 people in case the person on the far side needs to go for a late night squirt and doesn't want to wake his buddy. This is less of a big deal in larger 4+ man tents because you can generally walk around, rather than over, your bunk mate. It's not a deal breaker, but something to consider.
