Clam Ice Shelters - Good or bad?

[archerben55]

[size 1]I posted this in the Utah forum as well, but I'm hoping to get some advice from outside of Utah as well. My brother is looking into getting himself an ice shelter for this season. I would really appreciate some opinions on Clam's line of shelters. I'm looking for info on durability, quality, ease of setup, etc. He's thinking of picking up the Clam 5600 with the new link system. If he does, I may sell my Frabill Hideout and buy a Clam as well so that we can hook them together. I would also appreciate some advice on what a 2 year old Frabill Hideout in nearly new condition should sell for.

Thanks in advance.
