I'd argue for a Timberline 4 - similar weight (8lbs), 3.5 season, and enough space for 3 people + gear. Costs less to; can usually get one for about 170-180, less if you can get it on sale, or a factory second. However, Timberlines don't come with vesibules, and are 4 person tents.

As a way to further your search, suggest starting here:

Campmor specializes in discount gear. I like REI's comparison features better, but if you get a Campmor paper catalog your search will be made much easier...

There is a "slightly soiled" Timberline 4 on the Campmor site now for $140 - I recently spent my tent money, or I'd snag it out from under you.

I won't get into the economics behind the movement of manufacturing overseas; suggest you read "Naked Economics" to get into that topic. No, it is not salacious, despite the title.
