Not at all! Just throwing out more options. Just happened to know that Tentsmiths makes em. And they make accurate copies of the actual Sibley. As designed by Sibley himself. All in what you're lookin' for!

Personally speaking tho, I've owned a Tentsmiths tent for over 30 years and they are top quality product.

I have one from Tentsmiths. It does not, however, have the side walls. No lines needed, but cuts down on the useable space a little bit. Also has a lot of stakes to pound in. Twenty stakes.
I remember (not fondly) setting up around midnight in the rain. Creeping along in the wet grass, rain drizzling on my back, placing and pounding stakes.
It is a nice tent - I have doors on opposite sides so it gets a nice breeze through if you pay attention to the wind direction when you pitch it. I have the center pole in two sections for easier storage, transportation.
