Tent weight
Craig:
just have to set it up smart. My big wall tent doesn't have a floor and everything stays dry in the rain and snow.

Perhaps I am looking at this from the wrong perspective. I have been limiting my search to a 2p tent which increases weight but does give me extra space to store my gear. Would a 1p tent suffice?

For one person, you just need something long enough. I went to brick & mortar stores and crawled into tents to figure out how long I need and then compared specs online. If you have a vestibule a single tent works great and will be lighter obviously.
I have a Golite that they don't make anymore and an REI Half-dome plus (2 man) that both fit me at 6'4".
Vortectoy:
I recommend the marmot limelight 2p. 4lbs 10oz trail weight. I have the 3p I take for me and a buddy and it's great.
motg9_6:
Golite imogene ul3
Great for 2 can fit three
3lbs 1oz
I love it.
blackpowderhunter:
i have the REI passage 2... it is on the upper end of the weight range at mid 4 lbs, but it will only run you 159 from REI with a good warranty... I like the double vestibule for when there are two people in the tent, don't have to crawl over each other to get out.
