That is the 6 person. It felt like it could comfortably sleep 3-4 adults with equipment. I ordered it from BackCountry Edge, they had a 20% off coupon (MY20) that included most of the products in their store.
The Flying Diamond came in Friday. I did a test run in the backyard. It was pretty easy to setup without assistance, it took me ~15 minutes the first time. It was semi-sheltered but still caught some of the 35+mph wind gusts we had today and weathered them without any trouble. I'm planning to...
I will likely be picking up the BA Flying Diamond. Even though I can't fully stand up inside, the head room problem wasn't as bad as I thought. I found a new one for $350 from an authorized dealer which certainly helped with the decision. I did also see a Kodiak tent. If I didn't get that good...
I'm not too bothered about the return policy being reduced to a year. That actually sounds pretty impressive. It's the land use/antigun stuff I'm not crazy about however. I'm going out this afternoon to see a few of these in person. I've also been contacting a few dealers to see about any...
Thanks for the suggestions and advice everyone! I finally found a nearby place where I can see many of these tents in person. I'll report back with what I end up choosing.
Camp ground pad sizes are something I had not considered. Other than heading up to the local KOA campground a few times each summer, I don't have much camp experience, so this is all pretty new to me. I probably will be spending my first few trips at a campground so I can get the hang of things...
I do not have kids. My priorities in order of importance would be long term durability, wind/rain resistance, warranty/customer support, price, head room and weight being a distant last. I would prefer a lighter tent, but if a heavy canvas tent will serve my needs better then I'm all for it.

Thanks, it looks like I'll be crossing the Marmot off my list. The 6P is a bit small and the 8P is $40 more than the flying diamond 6 after the coupon. I've also started looking at Sierra Designs Mirage and Yahi Annex tents. I did take a look at Kodiak tents. While I don't mind a heavy tent...
2-3 adults with cots and/or air mattresses.
I think the Limestone 6 is a 10x10, the 8 has a second room that adds to the length. Was there something in particular that you didn't like about the Marmot or was it just underwhelming in general?
I just found out that there's a REI store ~2 hours...
Hi all, after nearly a decade of camping in cheap Walmart tents, I have decided to spring for something a little more robust. I have a budget of around $550 and weight isn't of concern since I'll only be using it for car camping. I've been looking at the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 6/8 and the...
