I purchased an evo 2 today. I put it all together and am pleasantly surprised. I like to remain mobile but when I set up on fish I want room to run multiple lines in my shelter. Not only will I be able to. But my fishing partner will be able to as well. Setting up the shelter is pretty east. Takes about a minute to a minute 30sec.
1. Pull the tarp out of the sled.
2. Pull the front 2 hub sections.
3. Pull the top hub.
4. Insert vertical stakes.
5. If windy. I'm guessing I'll have to stake in 1 or 2 anchors upwind.

The shelter feels quite stable even without the wind posts in the corner. I'm sure with light wwinds. Less than 10mph I won't be needing them.
I'm excited for some hard water to test it out in real conditions.
One thing people were worried about was room in the sled with it collapsed. I found there's plenty of room for my marcum 2 5 gallon buckets and a power auger. There's room to throw a bag or anything else in there too.

I also sat in there chairs for 30 minutes plus while playing on the phone. I am confident they will be comfortable for many hour long sits.
I'm happy with my purchase so far.

I wonder if they will introduce an insulated version in years to come.

No need they heat up quick with a buddy heater,an insulated version would be 200lbs
