Great to hear! I just received my mongar 2 UL and can't wait to test it out tomorrow.
The Star River also looked great! I have the older 210T model. I opted for the Mongar because it offers a bit more fabric in the inner tent, just like my old Star River and has a lot more headroom making it a very roomy tent
I have a cloud up 1, star river 2, and a friend just got a mongar 2.
It's essential to get through silnylon fly IMO. I've been through hours of rain and have never had a drop in my tent.
OP, look at the mongar 2. I believe it's smaller and the side entry is a huge improvement.
It also has a lot more room under the fly for gear.
I would go with the Mongar 2 UL. The issue I have with the star River is the way the zipper attaches making it a pain to open and close. It's also more designed for hot weather rather than cold. Both are good tents, but of the ones you mentioned, I'd pick the MongarUL. The only real negative I have with it is the colour (same for the Star River)
I have a naturehike star river and think it's great although it was quite cold when I used it last February. I don't remember there being much of an issue with condensation but that's probably because the whole top half of the tent is a mesh.
I'm really interested in your table lamp though, my lantern style one really is too bright to have on the table and this looks like it isn't as blinding. What is it?

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
