3 man UL tent suggestions

[Crossup]

So as luck would have it I sold my Copper Spur UL3 just as my wife does a 180* on hiking/camping the AT. While I really liked it I'm not considering it for us unless I find it on 40% discount. I know Tarptent has a few offerings as does Zpacks, who else should I consider?
Probably for use early or late in the season as she's not into serious sweat- I don't mind 90* but the point is we should look for a tent on the warm side rather than a mid summer max vented model.

Front runner so far- if the return policy is real, no risk 1 year trial ala REI is very appealing for a tent that seems to be what I want
I'm a little suspicious of the claimed weigh but its not so light as to unbelievable

Since it was her that was the fickle one, I’d say Santa Kluas would be your best bet.

Rocketsocks, I like the way you think.

FWIW, I'm leaning towards the Mira because this whole hiking thing started with me wanting to mountain bike beyond one day out and back trips.

Not really understanding how easy it is to overload a pack I bought gear I knew we would be comfortable with. It made sense to do some conventional camping to make sure as to what we would need and want. That quickly lead to the determination that camping was not really her cup of tea: our BA Triple Core long/wide super luxury pads werent good enough, the Copper Spur 3 too hard to get in and out of and no way she was going to carry a back pack, too hot and it might hurt her back which has no problem dead lifting 150lbs in the gym. ARE YOU F'n KIDDING ME?

But she did say she did enjoy it enough to go again so I bought an elcheapo Kelty Yellowstone 4 and king size inflatable home use mattress and we went back to SNP and also did a couple pretty hard core day hikes(had her crying in fear on some of the climbs while 130lb me carried 55lbs of test weight in my poor Stratos 50)Also rode my bike with 55lbs on my back and stupid me thought it was fine. At that point I'm thinking as soon as I retire, I'm set for solo bike backpacking.

Two years later, retired, I bring up my dream and a week later she suggests we buy a travel trailer, which we did and a full size Chevy van to tow it. Remembering day hikes on the AT at SNP, we take it to several parks all with access to the AT and the bug to really hike it started to grow. So a month ago I gathered my overweight gear and did a week in the Michaux SF area that was trouble free and very enjoyable despite record 90*+ heat. I think her seeing me come back so happy, unscathed and noticeably more energized has caused her to want some of that.

Now somewhat wiser, 30lbs heavier and approaching a 30lb skin out weight, biking is back on my radar. With a current replacement cost of $11K for our bikes, I'm not too keen to leave them chained to a tree in the rain so THIS makes sense to me:

The extra 3lbs would either get strapped to my handlebars or with luck her pack(made it clear a pack is not optional)
