I have the 100 and i would say its more of a 1.5 man so cant see you will have any issues.

I disagree.... I have a tempest 100 aquatex and a fox flatliner which isn't as wide as the solar. Yes, it fits ok, but doesn't leave a lot of spare room between the chair and the front of the bivvy. I had to buy a bedchair buddy style chair for when it's raining as there's not enough room for a chair off the bed. The RS isn't as deep as the EV and has less space from back to front.

Bedchair will fit fine - I had a Tempest V2 Bivvy and the RS100 is def deeper, wider and taller

I use 800mm SP C Tech mk1 Standard and I can get a SP C Tech Low chair side on at the foot of the bedchair in my RS100 no probs - however with a 900mm mk1 / 1000mm mk2 wideboy you won't . . .will def need a Combi Chair on the bed to maximise space or a more compact lightweight chair if using in the doorway etc that you can stash under the bed when not in use . . .

Just my opinion - as per Fivenils comment, RS100 is almost a 1.5man - pretty much a 125! RS150 is more like a 175! Decent head-height, loads of visibility, easy to erect, plenty of space for 48hrs, arguably too much - def an improvement over V2 . . .I bought a vapour shield as cba with skull caps - brilliant product
