Is this tent actually 8.85lb? The Eureka website lists minimum weight at 7.7lb. What accounts for the difference in weight? The fly?

well the 8.8pounds is the finished manufacturing weight.... that means it includes the weight of the manual ect. Manufactures put a minimum weight to make sure it is fair to compete with other models. If the put only the other weight, they may have a very heavy manual which would offset the actual weight.

yeah I don't get that either, it must be a mistake. I bought mine in dec/08 and it was about 7.6lbs with everything that came with it, I added some extra stakes and my total weight is still only about 8lbs.
