I live in the southeast, and there are ALWAYS mosquitos.Is it worth it to buy this instead of the ShangriLa 4+ Shelter, floor, and nest?

Dug, the Shangri La with the nest would work just fine. I don't think Angus realizes that the mesh nest is a one piece nest/floor. So if you purchased the tent plus the nest, you should have a good mosquitoe proof shelter...just keep that door zipped!

It depends on the relationship you have with the mosquitoes. If you are loath to deprive the little fellers of their evening feed, by all means go with a tent that is made essentially of panel gaps for them to fly through (the Shangri La). If you wish that they and all their disease-spreading, blood-sucking, itch-making ilk would be wiped off the face of the earth in a manner both painful and protracted (which I would guess is closer to the truth), then go for this one. Or any other tent where the floor, walls, and ceiling are all attached, really. This is a great tent though, and you won't find much lighter for the size.
