REI Tents are good quality, but may be a bit heavy, and do not use most up to date materials. I just upgraded from an REI 2+ person dome (8 years use) to a Sierra Designs Hyperlight AST (MSRP $265, new on Ebay $165). Note that I originally paid $150 for my REI dome, which is at least two pounds heavier. I would'nt worry about the quality of REI tents, but do compare features and weight, and then shop for name brand tents with better features or weight on Ebay.

Up to date materials? You know the ast is like 2 years old right? Check out the quarter dome. sil-nylon etc.
i've used the mountain 2 tent and I think it is the best two
wall 2 person mountaineering tent on the market when you consider space, value and durability.
