There are a lot of varieties of tents, and you don't have to spend that much to get started.

I recently bought one of the many varieties of TarpTent and am quite pleased. 2.5 lbs for 3 people is awesome...and the price range is the same as the MSR Hubba tent you are eyeing up.

That said, you'd being doing yourself a disservice if you didn't spec out your requiments and shop "one up and one down" on Campmor's and REI's websites to see your other options. This site has a link to TarpTent on the header, as they are a cottage industry type manufaturer.
