Hornet OSMO

I freaking loved my Nemo hornet 1.5 person tent. Spacious, durable and lasted me three thru hikes (AT 17, LT 18, PCT 19). Still use it for solo overnights in the whites and Maine

Fwiw I got a brand new 1P Nemo Hornet osmo for free and every time I use it I feel like im holding something that is super delicate. I worry very much about durability.

I've had rain come in the fly cutouts on a Nemo Hornet Osmo 2p. I've also had strong wind blow dust inside of the tent and get all of my gear super dirty. They have the fly cut like that to shave weight, making the Nemo hornets less stormworthy than a full to the ground fly like an XMid. Fareweather camping with the Nemo is great, but I wouldn't trust it in all bad weather situations, mostly high winds. Never gotten wet in it without high winds

The Nemo Hornet can set up is some very small spots compared to the Durston tents, but it feels a lot more cramped (with 2 people)

I have extended guylines to make pitching easier on unlevel ground and for Big Rock Little Rock. Visualizing the space is a lot more difficult (especially when tired or in bad weather) than just putting the Nemo in any little spot without much thought. I rarely had to wipe the Nemo down before packing and regularly spend 10-20 min daily getting the xmid clean enough to pack it (and I use the durston groundsheet) Also the Xmid gets way more debris on it due to hitting the ground exponentially more than the Nemo during setup and breakdown The Nemo fly fabric is not as good as the Xmid, the Nemo fly soaks in and takes a very long time to dry. Also the Nemo pitches inner first so definitely can be an issue if you have lots of rainy days I sold my Nemo after getting the Durston, but rebought the Nemo recently because of the issues I have with pitching the Xmid in small alpine spots. The footprint is literally massive on the Durston

Sell ya a gently used Nemo Hornet Osmo 2P for $250 + shipping

Love mine.
