2 person tent recommendations? Help!

I went with a Tarptent Triple Rainbow

others Id look at are Slingfin or a Durston X-mid 2 if you are ok with trekking pole tents

I just impulse bought my first "backpacking" tent on sale from Scheel's.

Nemo Tracker 2P OSMO Ultralight Backcountry Tent

With a blend of technical features and a nimble, packable weight, Tracker OSMO™ is a versatile shelter for warm days chasing early-season

I'm excited to try it out next week for elk season...

REI Half Dome 2+, myself my girlfriend and both fit comfortably and I am 6'6 and 250 pounds (my feet do hit the end but no biggie, learn to live with it at this height).. Not the lightest but could do worse for $300.

The new 3P Mountain Star from Kuiu looks to be in a class of its own

70" wide at the head
62" wide at the foot
41.3 sq ft in the tent
2x 9 sq ft vestibule (18 sq ft total)
Trail/packaged weight: 5lb 0.3oz
Cost: $600

Heres a spreadsheet I made while tent shopping. I wanted a 3+ season tent for backpacking with my 2 girls and roomy enough to share with my brother in law on backcountry hunts:

I went with the Cooper Spur HVUL2. Honestly not sure I would want to share it with anyone, not even my wife lol. It would be doable but you’ll smell each other all night long.

I kind of wish I went with the heavier duty Kuiu offerings.

This next week both the Ba and Kuiu will be on steep discounts.

Excellent time to shop for a tent, considering REI is having their big labor day sale going on right now. I use a 3 person Big Agnes Copper Spur.
