I have the Otter XTH Lodge and the Vortex Resort hubs. The removable windows and the grey interior were two big selling points. Lights are much more effective with the lighter interior. Also the wider bottom of the otter resort adds to the usable square footage. I like the multiple anchor points(hub straps and the grommets on the skirt) of the otter as well.

Rains kind of a different ball game. I’m not positive on the performance of this material in rain. It’s not water proof but more water resistant I feel, so rain might make the fabric absorb the water and make it heavy and collapse the poles. Don’t take my word on that, maybe reach out to Clam and ask a customer support rep.
