Eh, it all boils down to a matter of opinion, I've had no trouble with my non-freestanding tent on granite faces. It is more work, and it does sometimes involve shifting rocks around.
The real question is, why is it unfortunate that your job requires you to go camping: I know quite a few people who would do awful things for a job like that.
