They claim to be lightweight all-season tents!
There are at least 5 makers that make tents that are lighter, more durable and more affordable.

I'm a UL guy and a gear nerd, and I have more than my fair share of MLD and Zpacks stuff (which I use and prefer for temperate climate backpacking) but I think you're selling Hilleberg well short. For winter expeditions, the Hilleberg tunnel tents are far and away the best tents I have found in terms of weight/strength/size compromise. Similarly, where durability is the key criteria (as I would argue it is here), I think the Hilleberg red and black series tents far surpass most other tents. I have 400+ nights in my Nammatj 2 and it's still in perfect shape.
