How light is "light" for you, MBArcher?

I would suggest looking at the tents from ALPS Mountaineering.
http://alpsmountaineering.com

I do own a couple of ALPS tents. One is an Outfitter model of the Taurus, though it is a two-person model. Great tent but kind of heavy for backpacking, unless you and your partner divided the tent between yourselves. Simple two-pole wedge dome, full coverage rainfly. Two stake-out vestibules. Never had a problem with weatherproofing. Used it in some very nasty weather. Holds up well to wind. This tent even comes in a three person model.

Just a thought. :)
