I have a Laser Comp and a Hilleberg Soulo.
I use the Laser most of the time and it works well once you suss out the optimal set up. It does rattle like hell in the wind however and can keep you awake all night.
The Soulo is bombproof and has the advantage of not always needing to be staked down as it's self supporting. I bought mine off ebay and while it still wasn't cheap you know they will hold their value.

Cheers for all the info @ WestcoastPete and @853Superfly ...after looking at the tarp tent website the MomentDW (or the similar laser comp) seems to fit the bill quite nicely...lighter than a Hille (probably not as tough) cheaper, and only needs 2 pegs (for moment), +more for guying out if needed in winds.
Reviews reckon the moment vents a lot better than the Hille Akto/Enan too, and it comes with mesh or full nylon options! A MomentDW with aftermarket poles/guys/pegs would make a pretty light touring tent. My uses would probably be fast and light touring, but not racing.
How do the bathtub floors rate in your Tarp Tent and Laser Comp guys? Do you need a ground sheet or is it tough enough to plonk down on some gravel/cleared out ground?
