For everyone asking @AndyJarman, @DoMoreInLife.
The main reason to want this tent design is aerodynamics and set up time. I've used the Tarptent original Moment which has pretty much the same shape and it's super quick to set up and wind just glides over it. Great for camping in exposed alpine windy areas. I can't quite explain it but the tent design just gave me a great sense of confidence. (On a relative note, I was cowboy camping on a mountain peak while a friend was in a Tarptent Double Rainbow. The wind just happen to come at his tent perpendicular to the main arch pole, which acted as a sail and he nearly got blown over the edge. He had to wake me up and ask me to sit on his tent while he dismantled it so as to not be blown down into the gorge below.)
If you're camping in sheltered woods, wind isn't such an issue so it would be many times over more pleasurable to sleep in a ZPacks Duplex. So different tents for different treks.
