A few years ago I went backpacking and shared a tent with my friend, which I'm nearly positive was the 2 man version of the solitaire. However, this tent may have been made by another manufacturer and just looked like the solitaire. Anyway, after spending a week in the thing, my only complaint was was my friend's obnoxiously loud snoring. The tent performed just fine, not too hard to set up, reasonably light, collapsed down pretty small, etc. I say go for it
