You will notice a few differences if you are keenly aware of the ECWS from the military.  My tent, unlike the competition, has a heavy waterproof fly, not just a thin nylon one.  Mine has vulcanized rubber backing, 100% waterproof.  Mine tent also has the brown floor, not the ripstop nylon camo floor.  The brown floor is reinforced nylon on the later models-thicker and waterproof, an improvement from North Face.  If you are concerned about the product, please email any questions.  Additionally, I photographed the accessory kit (there are actually two) with nylon patch repair systems, extra replacement guylines and talc packs for rubber repair.  3 extra nylon buckles too.  The photos show all angles of the tent, the condition of the most highly used entrance zippers, the manufacturer labels, MADE IN THE USA.  The fly is better than both other tents fly's on the internet.  Mine is a rubberized USA MADE Eureka.   Eureka manufactured the newer fly because of leakage problems with the lighter nylon one.  In the late 90's, US Marine Corps Systems command began contracting Eureka to make the superior fly for the NORTH FACE ECWS 5 man tent.  You get the better one.  The fly is essentially new, I just erected it on September 20, 2008.  Good luck to all!!!
