I swapped my SL1 for the SL2 after finding it for the same price ($200). I'm very happy with the switch. The SL2, for being only a hand-full of ounces heavier has much more useable space, while being just as light as every other solo out there. I've camped at 20 degrees with this tent in a 20 degree bag with a reactor liner and was more than comfortable. Breathability on this tent is great. I have yet to have any condensation problems. Thus far I've mostly used it in a scrub/desert environment and the tent body and floor had held up well despite the spikey vegetation. On an interesting note, despite the tent color the light inside the tent is surprisingly natural, and not the sickly green you'd expect. A definite bonus. Buy the footprint though as the floor is thin. All in all a great buy if you can find it on sale. Otherwise, it's definitely a bit pricey.
