Is 9 extra ounces worth a double wall tent? Trying to choose between Tarptent’s Double Rainbow Li (1 wall) vs Double Rainbow DW Ultra (2 wall)

Ugh just another gear addicted soul dropping a post here...

Edit: Primarily backpacking in the American West/Southwest. With an increasing focus of being above the Alpine line. Lower likelihood of being in very humid environments.

I currently have the Double Rainbow Li, which comes in at about 30.5 oz and is single wall. It’s awesome, don’t get me wrong. Have 2 nights in it so far.

But I’m not able to get out and hike much. Weekend warrior vibes. And when I do, I kind of really want the ability to just have more of the fly open and see out. Also ability to vent more at times. The Double Rainbow DW Ultra is the middle road here. But 39ish ounces.

Am I overestimating how often I’ll actually not use the fly or roll it halfway up? Does anyone have experience longer term with the newish Ultra material for tents?
