Has anyone tried a Durston tent?

Came across this tent brand and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it? Seems to be reasonably priced and very lightweight. Wondering if it is a good deal or too good to be true?

They are really popular in the backpacking/through hiking realm. Never used one but lots of reviews around.

I just got a X-Mid 2 Solid. Used it a couple nights this year, it's definitely different, my first non free standing tent. I don't use trekking poles as I usually camp off my motorcycle so I got the z Flick poles with it. I will say the footprint of the tent is pretty big, you have to find a larger than normal spot to pitch it. I like it, lots of vestibule space and fairly quick to learn to put up after a couple tries.

Love it. I have X-Mid 2 solid - its great lightweight and tons of room. Only issue is the large footprint. I've been thinking of getting the 1 person tent because that 2P could be considered an excessive amount of room and I could put it into tighter places.

Used it in windy and cold conditions. Worked great.
