I looked at the tent and all I can say is wow! Not sure what it weighs but the shipping weight is over 27 pounds!!! It makes me wonder if you are pulling our legs. I can't imagine that anyone would even give that a passing consideration.
You might want to shoot for 27 pounds or so as your total gear and clothing load without water and food, but including the panniers. That would be in the moderate to light range in the broad range of tourists.
I carried an 8 pound 4 person tent (for three of us) on the Trans America and cursed the weight every day.
