One thing about weight guys. Like Mike S. said, these type of tents are designed to be rugged and very durable. Unfortunately, this means using strong, heavy-duty materials that lead to additional weight. Yes, you could probably make a rooftop tent that was in the 75lb. range, but the materials needed to reach this would make it twice as expensive as the ones they have now. They can't be lighter *and* cheaper.
A few years ago my best friend and I drove 14 hours to the Fall Gathering in New England, most of it in driving rain. When we got to the campsite around midnight, it was pouring buckets. We sat in the Cruiser, watching fellow Cruiserheads bailing water out of tents and bungee-cording additional tarps to try to keep the water out. We figured out the plan, counted to ten, ran out. I unstrapped the cover and pulled it off, he took the heavy-duty tarp that I had previously folded over the tent and spread it next to the trailer. Together we flipped the tent over, secured the ladder over the tarp, then unzipped the tent and dove in (we already had pillows, blankets and clothes in there). Took less than two minutes, and while we got pretty wet, the tent itself was bone-dry. I slept like a log, woke up the next AM nice and dry, sorrounded by some pretty waterlogged Cruiserheads. It wasn't the first or the last time that I thought the investment worth it....
One last thing. Peter Sadtler is right, when it's really windy, the tent can be loud, because the higher location and heavier materials offer more resistance to the wind. I noticed that for the first time at the Lone Star Roundup about a month ago, it's the first time it's bothered me. But looking out the window, I saw floor tents that were also flapping around.
