is there was a longer version of this tent? 83" is just too short for a 6'1"er like myself.

thanks. i'm also debating if it's worth the extra pound or so to get the desired length by going with the marmot limelight or mountain hardware drifter.

No, 83" is it. Looks like all these Sierra Designs ultralight tents are running the same length. I noticed you're also looking at a couple TNF tents. Go in that direction for the length you're after, or have a look at Big Agnes ( maybe Copper Spur UL2 or Emerald Mountain SL2) if you want a larger tent with less weight, but in a slightly higher price range as the Sierra Designs stuff. Something like the Marmot Abode might also be worth a look. Hope that helped.
