I like how the entrance is on the side - no sqirming in the end like my KWU. The only knock on them is you can't sit up in them, but I'm looking for a light 1-person tent and am not too concerned about sitting up.

Let me know if you see a deal on a Zoid 1!
I have heard some good things about the zoid. Lots of good things about MSR in general. I am actually looking at one of their tents as well.

I have a Walrus Microswift as a solo tent. I love it! It is a little small though. Perfect for me, but I am 5'11" and weigh around 130lbs. Can't sit up in it, but it accomodates my proportions good otherwise. Weighs 3.37lbs with tent, fly, stakes, poles, and guy lines. Has a small vestibule. But I am sure you could find a better one out there.
