They set up quickly and, in my experience, are reasonably durable considering that they are ultralight equipment. My wife and I have spent well over 40 nights in the tent so far (through rain, light snow, and moderate hail) and the tent is no worse for the wear. They are pricey but if you can save up it's well worth it in my opinion. Not to mention, usually if you pay a bit more there is a satisfaction guarantee associated with your purchase, and Big Agnes is no exception to that. Your requirement ofr 2 people plus "a little extra room" would warrant the 3 person version of any tent, for sure.
