This gives me enough space to sleep, as well as room in the tent to spend time without feeling like I'm locked up in a single cell. The two vestibules offer enough storage space for my equipment.
It's quite nice... but -
on a multi-day tour with rain and humidity, it's quite tedious to fiddle with the poles (three of them) through the external tent pole tunnels.
This can be quite annoying at times, especially when you need to work quickly because it's raining.
