Everyone talks about using the TarpTent inners alone.
In my limited experience, I much prefer the fly alone. Cowboy camping when possible. Leaving the inner in the car. The TT SS 1 fly is in the low 20 ounces as I recall. And huge with the vestibules staked out.

I've only had mine up once but I really like it so far...love the true double wall of the SS Li. I sold my Duplex to buy the Li as I had been dreaming of a true double wall DCF tent for years.
The SS Li is 4" shorter than the Duplex which is fine for people like me who don't need the extra length but obviously might be an issue for taller people. So I'm guessing you would have still ended up with the Duplex
With the end guy lines pitched with vertical poles as I pictured earlier, I think I can live with the duplex. Just wish it was a little longer so that that wasn't a requirement for me. We all know sometimes the tent gets put up quickly to beat the rain and having to do that vertical stick job takes just as long as setting up the actual tent.
