I have the older version with the "smaller" door. It was still bigger than the others and now even bigger. Good stove, lightweight. No issues at all.How do you like the stove?

I looked at Luxe before buying my SO 4-man Tipi. The price was really tempting to me too.
Their 30d fabric isn’t ripstop which means if you do get a tear, it will continue to rip until you patch it.
If you’re truly going to use it on a backpack hunt where you NEED a shelter - I wouldn’t trust it. That’s just my opinion though. Good luck!
Edit: I remember watching this review and thinking - if I ripped it like he did on an actual hunt - I’d be screwed!
Fast forward to 4:50 in the video for the tear:
Video Review - Luxe Megahorn
I'm fairly certain that review is not accurate. The shelter is listed on Luxe's web site as being made from rip-stop material, and I find it hard to believe ANY manufacturer would make a shelter from something that wasn't rip-stop. Though it does obviously rip pretty easily in that video... but then again, rip-stop doesn't mean rip proof. Who knows?
I just looked and it doesn’t say rip-stop.
From the Luxe website for the Megahorn:
