I've got the hunters view 2 man, actually I have two. The first one I gave around $125 and the second I got for $89 on clearance but I haven't put it up yet.I leave it up year around because it is akward and heavy. I don't think you can measure which one is better between a one rated 200 or 500 lbs. Of course the 500 lb rated one is going to heavier. But, I'm a big guy and I like the extra room too.
