Kathmandu Taku

G'day folks, Just new to the forum. I'm looking for a larger tent, for occasional use, that can accommodate 2 persons comfortably, with gear, for more than one night at the one location. I would be using it more for motorcycle trekking more than hiking (I have a Nemo Morpho AR for hiking with which I'm well pleased). I was thinking of the Kathmandu Taku or the Black Wolf Hornet. I like what I read about the Hornet, but it seems very similar to the Taku & I can get the Taku for about AUD150 less that the best price I can locate on line for the BWH. The Taku is heavier, but for the occasional times I would use it, it seems like it would do the job ok.

How much are we talking here? Kathmanpoos website says $300 for the Taku, does that make the Black Wolf $450?? If that is the ballpark price then I wouldn't buy either. Out of the two, with the Taku 30%+ less I'd buy that. But at 4.5kg wow that's heavy for bushwalking!
