What about something like this?

We have an REI Taj 3 which is similar but an older model. One of us carries the tent and the other both sleeping bags so the weight is pretty even between the 2 of us. Weight on this tent is closer to 5lbs, not 7, so looks like a good option to me. I went with the largest and lightest for the money. Sure you can get lighter but the extra 2-300 bucks wasn't worth it for me.
We like the extra space for both of us. We usually take 2 bags into the tent with us so we have some food and clothes and such with us. Plus if it's ****ty weather or real cold we enjoy having the room to sit around in the tent more comfortably and stay out of the weather.
