New toy: Integral Designs MK1 XL

I couldn't resist getting the best single wall tent out there for 40 percent off. So I bought an MK1 XL by Integral Designs from backcountry.com. I can't complain on the price. I set it up today: it is a full foot shorter in length than my Double Rainbow and six inches thinner in width as the DR. I put my marmot bags in there for comparison. Here's some photos:

I'm not sure when it's going to get its maiden voyage. More on that later. Anywho, I got it because it will easily be able to manage a Minnesota lake-effect snow storm, and it has more space than my bivy.
