I would only use my MSR Twin Peaks as a winter shelter thus the need for bug netting is mute. The floor issue is valid if the Refuge X user carries neither a footprint or bivy. I use my tyvek GCB which serves both as a ground cover/floor and bivy and is minimal in cost. I'm not being critical in my comparison, just stating my thoughts. I would think (this is likely just me) that if a product/fabric is not tough enough to warranty a user may be prudent to carry back up protection such as a bivy.
