I researched the same and plan on buying a LImestone 6p in the spring for family and basecamp camping. I read and heard great things about their ability to withstand wind and weather. Two doors with vestibules (single on the 4P) is another huge plus.

I really like the MSR but the price point is high. I like the price point of the hog back but not sure how their tents are.
You will not be disappointed with the quality of the Tarptents.
Agreed...especially if you like nests with bathtub floors.
There a little heavy. But msr does make a hell of a tent.
If the goats are carrying it, and you don't need a stove, the Copper Spur UL4 is a GREAT tent. Especially if you can still find someone selling the 2013 model. I got mine from backcountry for less than $350 after CC rebates. A little heavy if you're carrying it, but I still carry mine. It's a great tent.
I would go with the BA Copper Spur UL4 over the Tarp Tent. The problem with the Tarp Tent is condensation, what a mess. I have the BA Copper Spur UL2 and love this tent. The durability of it, its not to heavy and the ease of setting it up make it a solid choice.
