Smashdancer,
I have the Fly Creek 2 Platinum, which is essentially the same design just a little bigger. As stated, it isn't truly freestanding so it needs to be carefully staked at the back. I bought the 2 because the 1 just seemed too small and the weight difference was negligible. If the price was too good and you don't mind the size, keep it. Quality and durability will not be an issue. I've used mine in torrential rain and strong wind with no problems. It is my go-to tent. enjoy!
