Thanks that's interesting. I actually own a hilleburg nallo 2 for serious conditions. But his scenario 1 sounds serious. I spoke with Annie le a bit as she has the HMG and uses it in Scotland, plus with the conditions i had in Kygyzstan before with the altaplex I know pyramids are super solid. I think the MLD would be a bomber tent for all but the most serious of wind.
I'm still not sure what my answer is, the tarptent moment is super cheaper compared to others. And the solomid with inner almost twice the price.
I think what I want at a price I can afford doesn't exist.
Ps. Sorry for my continued musing. I'll buy something, eventually.

I think the problem is that you're comparing mass produced tents (TT, HMG, SMD, ZPacks, Hilleburg) to a cottage owned and operated company (MLD). That's why its spenny. If you wanna support Ron and co, drop the cash for the MLD. It'll be worth it in the long run. The price difference is the cost of one or two nights in a hotel. No big deal after you've used the shelter 20 times.

Yeah. There's no holy grail.
This guy has some good posts on the HMG Pyramid Tents in very demanding conditions.
