So I'm looking for a "3-person" tent for me+g/f+dogs (I figure we need at least 40sqft) and I came across the Big Agnes Lynx 3, which Moosejaw has for $199 right now,
http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Big-Agnes-Lynx-Pass---3-Person-Tent_10093243____

Trail Weight 5lb 8oz
Packed Weight 6lb 3oz
Footprint Weight 10.5oz
Fast Fly Weight 3lb 16oz

which, compared to the Copper Spur UL3 (the one I'd most likely get if I could spend the $400 on it)
Trail Weight 4lb 3oz
Packed Weight 4lb 12oz
Footprint Weight 6oz
Fast Fly Weight 3lb 4oz

seems about a little over a lb heavier, but at half the $$ (I'll make the dog carry the flyweight ;-)

Anyone have any experience with the Lynx series, or the Lynx 3 specifically? Or, I guess for that matter, any other options/opinions in the 40-45sqft UL tent category?

Thanks!

These just started shipping within the past month or two, so unlikely to find much use feedback. But yeah, they seem like a good value.

Another tent to consider in size/weight/price range would be a Mountain Hardwear Lightpath 3; 44 sq ft, 5.3 pounds, $220.

Ah, didn't realize it was so new, surprised to see some places already have it on "sale"!

I looked at the Lightpath 3 but wasn't, in a sense, sold on some of the design elements/decisions.

Thanks!
