Still open to prospects. Not in a rush Strider I looked at the marmot, looks great but over 900g. I just got lucky with an OR deluxe Bivy strong one from the US will have it soon which will sit in my kit for quick alpine camps. Depending on the experience I may be keen to add others to my collection. Currently I use a tarp as like a hoochie when I want to cut weight or just hold it down with some pegs and lie under it if setting up in a hurry and looking for a low profile. I can use my poles to support a tarp, I enjoy the tarp sometimes when the weathers not too strongly windy. Tarps are good for head cover if the weather turns unpleasant.
