I've had a dcf Solomid and Duomid and sold them both when I got my Khufu dcf-B, it's a really nice compromise between the two and the weight/room is tough to beat. I've got a Solomid Xl in sil on it's way as I prefer sil over dcf in windy weather, it's just more forgiving and a lot quieter on exposed camps, plus I need something a bit more stealthy these days than my citrus Cricket so went for an OD green one.
Also got a Hexpeak, great tent, a bit of a lump (1.3kg?) with the standard inner but it's a cosy place in cool weather, loads of floor space for wet kit and cooking if you don't mind the added condensation. Swap out the stock cord as it's crap, one of mine snapped on a rough night at Lyn Eigiau.
Fly alone it's palace, with a light bivvy bag instead of an inner it's a lot of shelter for around 660g I think. There's also the full nest inner option if you decide to go two's up anytime.
On my first outing around the Ennerdale horseshoe I used my usual trekking poles and connector, but the amount of lateral force they were getting in the odd gust made me switch to the Luxe pole, I just suck up the extra weight if the forecast looks like I'll need it.
I bought a dcf Protrail recently but only used it once (managed to stick a pole tip through the fly first pitch
) Loads of room for one but I wouldn't use it in exposed areas.
Still love my old Trailstar but the low entry ins't for everyone, if you don't mind getting wet knees or using a pad they're seriously bomber
