Got a personal coupon from REI today, good only for REI branded products. I'm set as far as most camping gear, boots, and packs. As I was looking at their wares I came across the REI Hobitat 4 tent:

REI Hobitat Garage:
Looks interesting, and should be great for car camping. Specs are 8.5' by 7.5' by 6' tall. The packed specs are 10 x 10 x 27 inches and 17 pounds. Not sure if this size is doable on a bike, since I have zero moto-camping experience. I don't really need this type of tent this season, but I am getting tired of not being able to stand up in my current tents. The price with my REI coupon is about $200, plus another $100 for the garage.
Any thoughts on this compared to the Ténéré Expedition Tent?
