I'm not an ultra-lite hiker, for a number of reasons (which I won't go into
here), but I'd vote for a vestibule every time. It depends, though, whether
you're going to use it. If you are, then get one. Twenty per cent isn't
much.
(Oh, I can hear the moaning and gnashing of ultra-teeth now.)

Cordially,
