Packed Weight of Tarptent DW?

Hey Folks,

Always weary of the difference between advertised weight and actual, I've noticed that one poster on here has listed their Tarptent DW as 1.3kg, where as the website lists it as 960grams - a substantial difference.

I'm considering picking one up but this discrepancy concerns me. So...

Does anyone have one? And if so, what is it's weight, lines, pegs and all?

There are a number of possible configurations (15 in fact) plus extras and accessories.

I have a Moment DW with solid fabric interior, extra crossing pole, both poles carbon fibre, two extra stakes and guys, and a Tyvek footprint. All packed in the stuff sack it weighs in at 1.31kg.

I just got mine and weighed it at 1030 grams, I've got the carbon pole and mesh inner, but it needs to be seam sealed. The tyvek foot print is about 120 grams, which need to be added, so once it's sealed, all up probably 1175 grams.
