Copper Spur vs. Emerald

By Ranked #77 - 3-Season Tents January 26, 2012

So I have been comparing two different BA tents. One the BA Emerald Mt and the other the Copper Spur. I am looking for a good 3 season tent to go onto the AT (mid March south-north). I find that I am more inclined towards the no-see-um factor of the Emerald, but I am worried about weight, weather, wind etc. I feel like the Copper spur might have more to offer in the practicality department, but not gonna lie it is a bit, well out of my price range so I need to know if the difference is really worth the extra money. Thanks for your replies :)
