I've been using one for about 6 months now. The extra height is a bit excessive but as stated it doesn't impact packing away as i've had nearly all the brolly versions and haven't noticed a difference. I do have the skull cap wrap on it though so that's packed separately so not tried with just a skull cap on. I thought the composite was just as good and had loads of height and i'm 6ft 2in but didn't come with vents so moved it on. Mine just had a test in winds up to 60 mph the last few days and other than losing a peg on the front of the wrap it was ok. I found the peg 15 yds behind me stuck in the bank like a dart!!!!

I think my mate picked one up from the tackle box recently

It does look high, but that appeals to me (as well as no spokes inside) as currently use a Nash Groundhog brolly which I have to get down to waist height generally to get in or out of.
Little bit of a hack for you guys not liking the extra height the 100T gives, (something in-between the two brolly models would have been perfect...).
Obviously if you aren't using a groundsheet you can peg it out a bit wider thus lowering the shelter but if you want to use a groundsheet and can get hold of one then use one from a Tempest V2 which was 20cm wider, you have to fold it under at the back but that extra width drops the front of the 100T but you can still use the infil panels with no problem...
