Yeah. 10% of the tent cost to keep me tearing it is probably worth it. I just skinted myself buying my gear almost all at once and never managed to get one.
I saw the 'gear shed'. TBH I can't see why i'd ever need it though. The vestibules on this tent are huge. I had one with 3 panniers and a 30L duffle in + boots, and the other free for cooking and drying things in. The thing I am interested in is the 'gear loft', for chucking stuff into the roof of the tent/drying.

I ended up with a Zep2 XL lite last year as the factory had a sale and it was too good a deal to pass on...... i had looked at MSR's
Been looking about today on http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk and your Hubba just got more interesting, have you seen the the "gear shed" attachment, a zip on to the doorway extra extension to the tent.
Terra do a similar thing with a groundsheet pack, ditch the inner tent, pay a load of extra cash for a fitted ground sheet, your tent is now as light as your wallet :) they did have a fancy name in place though for wine bar kudos.
The MSR sheet was fairly cheap so worth considering over my ultra budget ideas of a poly sheet.
I did try some of the foam underlay for laminate flooring for our Laser2, i cut to footprint shape as a possible for winter use but the weight was low but packing size was huge, doable but too much hassle in the end.
