My ideal hair is a ground chair frame (the low height and lack of legs would allow it to be used with a tent's awning) with a chair zero cover (as it's half the weight of the cover of the chair one/ground chair).
Helinox said that the "have no plans" for such a chair, but you never know.
I would suggest an e-mail campaign, but I'm not looking for one (already got one and it's showing no signs of wear). Certainly if I was buying one today the Ground Chair would be the one I'd really want.
I've no experience of lighter fabric but overall lighter sounds good as long as it's not at the cost of robustness. Having experienced failures on tour, cycling I'd rather a small extra weight that have kit fail again.
