Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

According to Topeak, the Bikamper ‘is a personal shelter that utilizes a 26" mountain or 700c road front wheel in place of tent poles.’ The tent and the fly fold down into tiny 10.2" x 5.5" pack, weighing in at 3.59 lbs. This is my question: Would the smaller pack size and larger price tag (REI, $200) be worth it compared to, say, a Mountainsmith Satellite, which packs down to 18" x 6", weighs 3lbs 14oz and costs 80 bucks?
