What are your thoughts on the Nemo Hornet? I have a BA Copper Spur UL HV 1P but am second guessing my decision to go 1P. The Nemo Hornet came up on my search but didn't see many good reviews.

I have had past models of each, and have current models of both the Hornet 1P Elite and Big Agnes Copper Spur ULHV 1P. I like both.
The Hornet is my 1P solo summer-ish backpacking shelter. I use the slightly roomier CS ULHV 1P for long nights during fall hunting.
The Hornet 1P is my favorite solo tent, and I've had a pile.
For perspective, I'm 5'-10"/150lbs.

I should've been more clear. I'm thinking of going 2P and the NEMO Hornet was another option.
Upon further review, I think I'm going to just run the CS 1P and decide after the hunt if I really need 2P. At 5'-6" 175lb I don't need tent length, a little wider would be nice.

No I hadn't seen that one, not sure if I'd like that other than the weight. I'm willing to take the weight penalty to have a little more room plus the additional vestibule.

that scout looks pretty minimalist. i have a new copper spur platinum and its the lightest 2p tent i have owned and the vestibule space on both sides is great! its pretty amazing how light it is for the size you get. https://www.bigagnes.com/Copper-Spur-2-Platinum

I've used the Nemo Hornet for the last three seasons. The tent is light weight and tuff. Used down to zero and in heavy snow - for it's weight and pack size it's hard to beat. I'm 5'11", 165 . I really like how fast it goes up and the covered entry to put your boots on in the morning and keep your pack clear of snow.
