backpacking and need your help with a proposal regarding which tent to
purchase for our outings.  We will be purchasing at least six tents
initially, all the same exact model.

>     Criteria (not up for discussion, unfortunately):  two person tents,
two doors, free-standing, under five pounds, and (preferably) under $150.
(My $300 Big Agnes super-light 2 was rejected as too expensive, especially
given how hard kids ages 12-17 can be on tents!)

directly with your thoughts and recommendations  I will be most grateful!
