Betwen the 4 man and Sawtooth, the Sawtooth WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Between the 6 man and Sawtooth, the 6 man has a lot more room.
For two people in a backpacking environment, the Sawtooth will win every time.
You're more than welcome to grab mine and try it out if you're ever in the Puyallup area....
what about splitting duty as a base camp 60% and backpacking 40%. would that sway things or still go with the sawtoothBetwen the 4 man and Sawtooth, the Sawtooth WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Pole dancing in a sawtooth huh - not sure I needed that mental imageFor a height reference , I'm 6'4" and can stand if I dance with the pole in my Sawtooth but I brush the fabric with the stubble on my head. Your friend at 6'2" will clear right up against the pole for dressing and such but he isn't stepping anywhere. I love my Sawtooth and stove , I can't stand to crawl into a tent.
When you say backpacking environment do you mean literally carried in a pack or just off the beaten path? I am a ways out of picking up either of these shelters but for an Alaska fly in or float style hunts or even horse back hunts here in CO I am curious which you think would be best.
Thanks - looking forward to using one and seeing how well it would work for me. I guess depending on the area it might be tough to find an area big enough to pitch the 6.I would choose the Sawtooth out of the three, but the 6 has more room.
The tooth takes up less room in the pack/boat/plain, and weighs less as well.
