Should I sell my Hilleberg Nammatj 2 for a MH Direkt 2?

2 different tools for 2 different jobs

Sell me your Nammatj for the price of a used MH Direkt2.

Seriously, they're two totally different tents. It's an apples to oranges comparison. One is an ultralight bivy style tent for fast and light mountaineering missions, the other is a double-wall tunnel tent designed to withstand the harshest conditions on the planet.

The right tent for you depends on your needs; what you're planning on doing with it, where you'll be, etc. Not an easy question to answer without more information here. I own both a bivy tent (a Crux Assault) and a tunnel tent (a Fjallraven Keb Endurance 2), and they're both different tools for different jobs. We took the Crux on Rainier this year, and the Keb is going trekking with us in Iceland later this fall. I tend to use the Keb far more for ski touring - the roomy vestibule is amazing - and the Crux for mountaineering objectives.

So I’ve decided I’m gonna sell my Nammatj 2 and get a dome tent and keep the MH D2

Yeah I know. I just hate having two tents :\

Why? If you have two significantly different purposes, it makes sense. Tool for the job.

What's the problem with multiple tents?  I've got a Hilleberg for winter, a MSR one person for the other seasons and a large MH for car camping. And a bivy sack for those unplanned adventures.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
