so what would you folks recommend ,oh i didn't mention money i wont concern myself with that just yet more interested in what's out there.

I doubt that you'll be able to find anything in a lightweight tent that you could stand in. The weight is usually the focus. You might look at the REI Quarter Dome T2 and T2 Plus. Reasonable weight and very roomy. A little funky to set up compared to other tents I've used.
