Mountainsmith tent
Here is a new tent by Mountainsmith for only $189 retail... less everywhere online. I recently reviewed the tent on youtube. Anyone else used this tent yet. I would love to get your feedback. Thanks. Here's the video:

It looks like a nice starter tent and nice in the price range - but for me its a little heavy. I suppose I prefer weight over features and would stick with something like the Clip Flashlight in that price range.

Personally, I go with the Big Agnes Fly Creek - but that is a whole different price range, though I got a good price on mine.

I like this tent. It appears to be a tried and true eureka design with some added features. At 4 lbs, 11 oz it's almost a pound heavier than the clip flashlight,... the extra door and space are worth the weight from my view.

Two doors and two vestibules are mandatory features for me. The price seems more like $130 as I look around. Great deal!
