What's up with this tent in rain? There seems to be a lot of conflicting reviews on how the Hi Lite does in real rain conditions. Will it hold up in rain or not?

Recently I spent two and a half hours in an unexpected down pour in this tent at 8ooo feet in the Sierra Nevada, luckily the weather cleared in time to cook dinner. I was impressed with how the tent held up in the rain and the wind-Inside we were dry, but I would be curious to know about how it holds up in a whole night of rain. Does the material eventually get saturated and wet inside?
