Can anyone compare and contrast this tent with the Montbell Crescent...

Can anyone compare and contrast this tent with the Montbell Crescent line? The Crescent 1 shows a larger floor area, lighter weight, and cheaper price. Even the Crescent 2 is cheaper, the same weight, and of course a much larger floor space. Any experience with these tents? I know specs do not mean everything, and neither does price, which is why I am asking for opinions from those who have experience...
Edit/Update: Well, no one was able to help me out with this, so I went forward with returning the Hubba HP I had purchased and bought a Montbell Crescent 1. The HP was a nice tent, but I just could not get past how narrow and confining it was. I know other reviewers have found it to be adequate, or even ideal, but for me it was just too tight a fit. I could have slept in it, of course, but would not have been happy about it, and certainly cannot have seen myself weathering out a storm of any length in it.
The Montbell Crescent 1 is roomier, lighter, & cheaper. It's done.
