[philmont] Alps Tents

I have used a Mystique 2.0 a few times (I bought it for my kids, I use a Sierra Designs Clip 3 most of the time when I am sharing a tent) and it has plenty of lenght for my 6' 0" body.

I have an Alps Mystique 1.5 and am 6'-1". There is plenty of "lay down" room for me. When I sit up in the tallest part of the tent, my head touches the roof. I am happy with the Mystique 1.5, but getting dressed in it is not easy.

I'm looking at 2 of the Alps Moutaineering tents, the Zephyr 2.0 and the Mystique 2.0. Does anyone have any input on either of these 2 tents?

I am 6'2" and know that I have trouble with 5x7 dome tents because I tend to touch head and toe when I stretch out. I notice that the Zephyr is 7'4" and also has a bit more of a straight up and down front. I like the roomy look of the Zephyr as well as the 'sit up' headroom it appears to provide but am still concerned about the head room when stretched out.

I am pleased with my other Alps tent and don't worry at all about the quality, just want to make sure I have enough head room when laying down.

Any help would be much appreciated.
