I've found a couple options that might work (

bag) if the shipping works out. Things I'm concerned with are a) not freestanding, b) thread thru vs clip style pole attachments. I've found the trail weight goes up a good bit for 2person tents, and on these cheap tents that can mean more than a pound. Anyone have experience with either of these? TIA
Both are fine choices. The 2 hoop design tent is a solid choice particularly when it comes to price and weight. The Eureka spitfire is another example and you can pick it up from campmor for 20% off:

Synthetic bags are a fine choice.
