[pct-l] TarpTent: Any advice?

[revgizmo at yahoo.com (conor healy)]

>From my perspective, the 4oz for the Squall is unquestionably worth the extra space.  The tarptent design doesn't so much keep condensation from happening, it more keeps the condensation from dripping on you.  With the Virga (and presumably the Virga2), the sides are too close - contact = wet.  The Squall is palatial for 1.  I say go for the Squall.
 
I also like my extended beak, sewn in floor, and front zipper.  I had the choice of the bottom zipper or not and stupidly chose not.  Get the bottom zipper.  Or wake with mice on your head.  Your choice.

I have been reading about the TarpTent Virga2 recently, but have never seen one. For those of you thaqt have experience with them, would you answer a few questions?

How much "use-able" room would a 6'1" guy like me have? How well do they stand up to wet weather? Floor or no-floor? (I hate bugs!) How durable are they? Por's and Con's?

Thanks for any advice you can give!
