Does the stratosphire have extra guy attachment loops? Also peg loops to secure the fly to the ground to prevent wind getting underneath?
Its amazing how a 3 season tent can be fortfied against wind by adding more pegs and guys. Tarp Tent's sil nylon and poles are good quality and strong.
For snow the dip in the stratosphire doesn’t look to promising.

Have a look at Tier Gear - a Tasmanian vendor who makes good quality gear.
Note - only enter this void if you like extended periods of good-quality sleep!

The total weight of hammock plus top and bottom quilt for me was a bit more than a Zpacks hexamid, a light inflatable sleeping mat, and a light quilt, so the hexamid combo won for me, as I could also cook in it.

By extra poles do you mean something like the trekking pole outside the tent as in this photo ?

if so I would not bother.
I think that was done by some lunatic playing in his backyard , not something I ever done in the bush with mine.
I think the Strat would be fine in the authurs. I've had mine in +100 kph winds under North Ramshead on the NSW main Range. You'll not be getting much sleep though in such winds (I challenge anyone in any tent to go to sleep in these conditions).
The secret is to peg it out properly - I put extra loops along the vestibules and peg this down to stop wind from coming under the tent and prevent it from ballooning.
