Should This 4-Season Tent Be Your First Backpacking Tent?

Today we are reviewing the MSR Access 3. This is a 3 person, 4-season tent that weighs less than 5 pounds. Spoiler alert, I love this thing.

So obviously I think this should be the first 4-season tent you should buy, but here's the questions we're going to ask today.
