Ironically I set up a couple of tents in the backyard this afternoon to check them over and have a couple of beers doing it.

I like my MSR Hubba Hubba - they don't make exactly that but they do have one with "NX" on the back end. It'll fit you, your gear, and you'll stay dry. Lots of guy-out points on the fly to keep it up in heavy wind / snow. Weighed in at 2173 grams all in.

I also have a Seek Outside Cimmaron. VERY nice to be able to add a stove for mid-late season. A half-nest will keep bugs off you but limit weight. A bit more room than the MSR. Weight:
*Poles and Pegs: 484 grams
*Tipi (old style, the new dyneema are alot less): 1189 grams
*Nest (not necessary but nice): 739 grams
Total: 1673 grams no nest, 2412 grams with nest

I forget what the stove weighs, it'll be enough to carry around I'll say that.
