I have a  24 ounce tent with lots of head room, tons of room for both me AND 
MY GEAR, a  suspended bathtub floor, and great ventilation.  (and a  view).
----------------------------
The SixMoons Luna Solo is a  very good tent with one sided views.  My problem 
is when I get under a  tarp or in a tent that blocks ANY of my views, I am 
unhappy.  It is  strictly a personal preference thing.  When I am facing a nylon 
wall inside  a shelter, I am wondering what is going on the other side that 
would be cool to  see.  Sunsets, light playing off rock walls/grasses, shooting 
stars, trees  blowing, clouds, animals, etc., etc, etc.  Sure you can try to 
position  your shelter to see the most or best views, but it is not the same 
as being in a  netting tent.  No competition.
 
I am in my shelter for 8-12 hours a  day on a trip.  I came out there to be 
part of Mother Nature not to be  screened off from it, IMHO, HYOH.  Of course, 
you could just use a bivy,  but I like a bug free clean netting tent much 
better.
