I've never had a tent with as much netting as some do now and was wondering about lower comfortable temperature range for a tent such as this

with a full fly coverage? Wondering if I need to stick with something like the

for the greater greater chicagoland area.I much prefer camping when its around 60-70 in the days than in the prime days of summer. Which means nights can be 40 or lower. I'd prefer to plan for 25 ish on the low side.
I was also looking at a solo tent for just myself. I really like the

but its just super expensive. So was considering something like this

and again wondering what might be a lower comfortable temperature range for something like this that really has a lot of mesh. Campor classifies the North Face Stormbreak 1 as a 3.5 season tent and has almost the same mesh config as this with mesh on one side wall half way down, however I dislike the bright fly colors as it draws attention to your campsite. On that note it seems like only marmont, hilleberg and some alps products are a drab color on the outside. Does anyone know of any other great 3.5 season tents that blend in better?
So my main question is, how does mesh on the inner tent affect its ability to regain some heat? And at what temps, for comfort and lower limit, would one need to start looking at strickly 4 season tents? Also I am not considering anything that is more than 1/2 mesh.
Thanks
