Looking for a deal on the older version with the full mesh floor. Not interested in the Hexamid Pocket Tarp.

Reposting because my last post was removed by Reddit filters for some reason.

I have a disease that means I’m never satisfied with my current setup. The doctors tell me it’s terminal (for my wallet). I’ve been considering a floorless tent to replace my Xmid, since I’d get the benefits of a DCF shelter without worrying about a floor that will eventually wear out. These are the options I’ve been considering:

Zpacks Hexamid Tent
- $499
- 9.7oz
- Seam sealed

MLD Solomid Pro Silpoly w/ Bug Net Skirt
- $345
- 10.4oz WITHOUT skirt (does anyone know how much weight the skirt adds?)
- $40 extra for seam sealing

MLD Solomid Pro DCF w/ Bug Net Skirt
- $515
- 7oz WITHOUT skirt (same as above, anyone know the real weight?)
- Seam sealed

Gossamer Gear Whisper
- $499
- 9.8oz
- Seam sealed
- Seems like the most spacious
- 2 poles required (not an issue for me)

I plan to use any of these shelters with a tyvek or DCF ground sheet (haven’t decided yet).

Questions
- Which one would you choose?
- What options am I missing?
- Does anyone have any photos of the bug net skirt on the MLD Solomid? Their site doesn’t have any. Is the net skirt similar to the Hexamid and Whisper?
