I bought the REI Half Dome Plus 2 for my boy and have used it a few times. A very good tent for the price. Roomy, light, well thought out. It won a Backpacker gear award in 2003 which is a hard award to get. I have used a Marmot Nutshell (Backpacker gear award 1994) since 1995 and its is a work of art but smaller than the Plus 2. I'm upgrading to a Marmot Hypno this year. You get what you pay for. Size, weight and quality of construction are as critical in M/C camping as backpacking. The more nights you will use it, the better it should be. I tent about 20 nights/year.
