Earlier today I made a post about deciding between the Tarptent Aeon Li and the Durston XMid 1 Pro and got some fantastic feedback! I decided on the Aeon Li mainly on smaller pitch size although I am a bit concerned about packability due to the carbon struts. Someone then commented that I should also consider the ZPacks Solo Plex and now I am once again torn between two options.

Few considerations:

- Solo Plex seems much more packable

- I like the ventilation and raising of the edges on the Aeon Li

- Solo Plex is over 2 ounces (~65 grams) lighter.

- I can buy the Aeon Li for $100 less than the Solo Plex (however costs is not my main concern)

Does anyone here own both? Or did anyone choose between them and could shed some light on what drove their decision and if they would make the same one again?

Thanks!

Doubting between these two tents! Both will be shipped to the USA. Does anyone have either and would like to share their opinion and why they choose their tent? I currently own a two person bonfus duos dcf shelter but looking for a one person tent.

Footprint for the Aeon Li is smaller but seems harder to pitch. I very much value ease of setup and ease of packing as well as storm resistance (should stand up very well to high winds). Also would like to be able to sit up straight (I am 5ft9/176 cm).
