We have a new tent this year and I LOVE it! It is a 6 person and only weighs 12 pounds. It is called the Casa 6 by mountain hard wear. It fits our family of 5 with a dog and gear easily. Large vestibule as well.
We've had the Casa 6 for a couple of years. It is a very good tent for the weight/size/cost. We couldn't find anything better out there for our family of five. You can easily stand in it.
The tent packs down to a size that is too long for vertical/horizontal placement in our pack, however it probably means we just have to separate the rain-fly, poles, and tent. Vestibule is has plenty of room for entry and for stashing packs. Easy to put up.
Have you considered compressing it? I'm not sure if it's awful for my tent, but starting last year when I had to fly my gear to CA for some trips with kids, I stick tent and tarps in a large GG compression bag and cinch down. A solid heavy block (Timberline4 here), and poles outside it. Just an idea.
