In summary, Triplex has a lower price tag, better vestibules, and an easier symmetrical pitch; but at the expense of having a smaller interior area, less headroom, and fewer desirable usability features unless you upgrade to Triplex Zip.
Offset Trio has more interior area, headroom, and desirable usability features, but is more expensive, and the asymmetrical pitch is harder to set up.

Nice overview, i find myself enjoying my tarp more then my tent these days
Thanks!
Have had a triplex for about 5 years. Wasn’t aware of the offset trio. I’ve only ever used it as a single or 2 person, 3 would work but definitely see advantage of the offset if you are with 3. For 2 I think I like the triplex over the offset due to each person having a big vestibule to keep their pack etc. also 3 adults is just a weird number of people for a tent. Who are these 3 ppl? Close friends? A couple and their platonic 3rd wheel? I’ve only ever camped with my date or myself or a buddy. If I had 2 buddies we’d each be in our own tent.
Offset Trio is less than a year old, so you likely wouldn't have been aware. The bigger vestibule on Triplex is nice, but it's not exactly a huge one, and there is enough extra volume in Offset Trio that it becomes preferable to store gear inside rather than outside anyway. Not here to say how people should use their 3P tents, but we'd guess that most common scenario is two people who just want extra space, followed by two parents and a kid, or two people and a dog, followed by three friends. If there was a survey, we'd be curious to find out the stats too!
Great comparison Alan’s friend.
Thanks friend!
Why didn't you use the tie-outs on the Triplex?
They are there for a reason.
Internal volume would have been much more similar if you had.
Fair question. It would have made the Triplex a bit bigger, though definitely not a gamer changer level. It still would not be as big as offset trio. You also have to be careful not to pull them too taut though, since they're not reinforced as well as the trio's foot end, and thus more likely to damage the tent. Using those guyouts adds stake weight and set up time. And at time of video shoot, it wasn't windy so that aspect didn't matter.
