I'd like to set up some of the Big Agnes tents and check for ability to get in and out in the rain without letting water into the tent. I know the SL series tents are near impossible to keep dry if you're in/out of the tent. Some of the newer ones are intriguing.
That's the issue I've always had with their tents, but the Emerald Mountain and Copper Spur seem to have changed to dry entrances for slightly more weight. Never seen one up here, so no chance to check in person, but they look promising.
The Emerald Mountain was carried my MEC a couple of years ago. I had asked why they were no longer being carried and the comment was an issue with the hubbed poles.
