I've had the Black Diamond Firstlight, the sister version of the Eldorado. Good tent(s), but not real light for a 1P and I dislike not having a vestibule, and the front entry. It's unnecessarily heavy, small, and expensive for what you propose. It's a mountaineering tent made for single use, high altitude climbing.

Brad- I hunt sheep and goats. The Eldorado with its ToddTex walls is not like the first light. It can take a lot of weather and if vented right also is good for condensation. I have many lighter tents and I have used them including a BA Copper Spur 3 UL and a BA Flycreek UL2 and I keep going to the Eldorado. It is not the biggest tent but it is a 4 season tent that won't crap out in bad weather.
