I bought the 3XTA after having the Eureka Timberline2 for many years. I wanted something bigger than a 2 man and this does the trick. It is great for 2 people but 3 would be cramped if you start bringing in your packs.
Pros - Easy to set up and light weight. No problems for one person to set up and move around before putting the stakes down.
The mesh is really tight and if noseeums are a problem for you, this will stop them.
Having a door on each side allows each person to get in and out without bothering the other.
Cons - Be careful when setting up as the side with the little triangle window (the "!" logo) really needs to be facing towards the lowest grade of incline. We were almost flat but still had the window at the highest grade. It rained the 2nd night and although no rain got in, the rain slides right down the fly and over the window. This then leads to rain running under your tent instead of the ground tarp. Tent was wet between ground tarp but bone dry between ground and tarp. Glad I sealed everything even after factory tape seal.
Also, I miss being able to open a window without having the world look in. If the fly is open (for a breeze) you have no protection from people looking in. And it is either all or nothing to have it open.
Lastly, the fly zipper is really long. To get out, you have to reach all the way across the open ground to grab it. Tough if it rains and there is mud right outside your door. As soon as you open the fly, you will get rain coming into your tent through the mesh. Since the zipper head is at the ground level, it gets mud and dirt on it so it makes it tough to zip up or down.
Overall, I would probably not buy this again. At least not for my purposes. I'll probably buy a 4 season tent and use this as a back up or for the kids. At least the price was really good. Glad I only spent $161 on it.
