You might take a look at the Big Agnes Seedhouse.

I haven't used it but I do know of one person that thru-hiked the AT and this is the tent she used. You can check out her trail journal at trailjournals.com and look for "Persistent".

Here's her review post trail.

Review: On Trail Review: LOVE my Seedhouse! So much room, so easy to set up. The mesh can get snagged very easily so care needs to be taken when stowing but it's a great tent and has stood up well to rain. Post-trail thoughts: LOVED my tent. Was great in the rain.
