I got the UQP thinking I'd need it but have not needed it yet. I surmise that it's because I always pitch the tarp right down to the SRL so I don't get enough backsplash or side-blown rain to warrant it. It might help with persistent super-foggy conditions, which in my experience is worst-case scenario... short of rip-roaring high winds, which can literally destroy things.
However, IMO you wouldn't go horribly wrong getting a UQ with Argon 67 outer shell. Still eminently stuffable.
