Re: MSR Hubba Hubba....
The one thing I've always liked about Coleman tents is their durability and ability to resist water. I like their "WeatherTec" system.
We have a place up in the hill country and my brother-in-law, who hikes with me most of the time and has the same Inyo2, and myself decided to just camp out one night. It came a total gully-washer that night. I mean high wind, buckets of rain, etc. The Inyo's were totally dry. I will say this though: ANY tent I've ever owned, the first thing I do is set it up in the drive way and first hit the sides with Camp Dry spray, and then put on the rain fly and give it a good coat of Camp Dry as well. I've NEVER been wet (knock on wood!).
I think what I like the best so far about the MSR Hubba Hubba is that it is rectangular, unlike the trapezoidal shape of the Inyo. Makes for much better space management inside. Like the Inyo 2 it has doors on both sides. The Hubba Hubba also has dual exterior vestibules like the Inyo 2, but I'll have to give the Inyo 2 kudos to the size of their vestibules. They are much bigger than the Hubba Hubba.
But I do think I'll like the free-standing design of the Hubba Hubba.
