Travis, I'll admit that I'm quick to be a naysayer about cheap(er) tents, but this one looks like a good buy. I'm impressed with the weight, Hydrostatic head test (1800mm), and the poles you can get at this price. Not crazy about the single entrance/vestibule, but, I don't think you can go wrong with it at this price.
I've got a Kelty Vortex 2 that I've had since 1999 and it has been a great tent, and still sees occasional use. Treated the floor with a silicone treatment this year, and will probably seam seal the rain fly soon, and fully expect it to be good as new.
Good find.
