Tents for couples

My wife and I have a 4 person tent (Eureka Mountain Pass) we've used for several trips over the past four years. It's served us well, but it weighs in close to 9 pounds. So before I plop down even more money on gear this year, how small becomes too small for a wedded couple? Is any 2 person too small for a couple to share for a week or two on tour? Is a 3 man tent the way to go for a little extra room. The lightest traditional tents at a reasonable cost appears to be the Eureka Pinnacle Pass line. A three man under 6 pounds costs some money and I'm not sure 3 pounds is worth spending well over $300 at this point (though the pinnacle pass is close to 6 for under $150).
