My Locale NEOH
About Me I started backpacking in the Northeast in high school with 3 buddies where we had quick access to the AT (Hertlein campsite). Continued through college and dropped off during the family-building years. Got back into camping with my sons and Cub Scouts which just fueled the need for more backpacking. Getting out on weekend+ trips for the past few years and loving it all over again.

FS: Easton Kilo 1P w/ footprint
Used on 2 trips so expected wear on stakes (had to hit one with a rock, but it only shows scratches on the head). The rest of the setup is fine, no rips, tears or holes. Just not working for me. ...

Re: Recommendations for a 2 person light "palace " tent? Imogene ul3? Jack Rabbit SL3? Quarter Dome T2+?
I agree with Sam on the CS UL3. I just picked one up and it is a palace for 2 from what I can tell from the initial setup. Meets all of your other criteria except the MSRP price, but as Sam point...
