Yeah, there's no immediate need so I'll probably let it slide. But if I'm looking now it means by the time I pull the trigger on something I'll have more clue and get something more appropriate.

Not sure what the pack size is off the top , but our cheapo Vango Pulsar stood up to hurricane Bertha a few years ago, when on a coastal campsite.
It was such a good design apparently, they made an UL version!

On the 'buy it' side, unless you trash it, it'll still be worth what you pay for it, if you decide it's not for you.
On the 'don't buy it' side. It's still a big outlay, and it'll be overkill for 90% of weather you'll have.
Having said that, knowing that you can keep all water out of sleep area, when the inner completely set back from the door is a massive boon in the winter.
