After reading through this thread I did some research on the Hilleberg Kaitum tent.
I've been looking for a lightweight 4 season, double wall tent for a while and after reading this article - http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin ... eview.html
(you need to be a BPL member to read it, if you want me to send it via pdf just PM me)
I decided to buy one yesterday from Moontrail.com for just under $800 delivered.
$800 is a fairly large amount but if you look at it as a 5-10 year investment it's not that bad.
My partner and I are off to walk the Overland in 2 weeks so i'll let you know how it goes.

I'll be looking forward to your feedback on the Kaitum with some eagerness. I'm struggling over a decision between the Kaitum or the Hilleberg Allak. I was tempted by the Nallo because of its light weight but concerned about reports about condensation.
I will be revisiting the Overland track too in early December with my son but want to use the new tent in July over in NZ - snowcamping in Tongariro NP.
For those interested in a review of the Kaitum here is the one that I found most useful:
