Best praise vs top criticism for Gossamer Gear The Two

Best Praise
+8 pts
“Is 8 stakes so you can stake out the guylines at the head and feet for extra space?  You might consider skipping the groundsheet. It's extra weight, it's annoying, and it really isn't necessary IME. I've used and abused both a Two and a One and I've only gotten a few small holes in either in thousands of miles. Easily patched. ”
