As some have said, you get what you pay for.

I normally hike with a one person shelter. Very occasionally I can get my wife to come out with me. it's the only time I take something bigger.

I've ordered the SCARP 2 into canada for a friend, it came across the border just fine and I only paid the GST.. yeah, life sucks, and we have free health care.... I've stayed in that tent and it would be a very good choice for a couple - it's light, but can be put up solidly with the cross poles (an epic storm in new zealand didn't destroy it smile.

I personally have a black diamond skylight that I use for this purpose. - which I also think is a palace although my wife might disagree - I have this because I got it second hand from a friend. it's a very good tent but new is usually more expensive than the scarp. Were I buying a new one for this purpose I would probably get the scarp 2.
