My husband and I spend an average  of 60 days a year in a tent, as we start our canoing at ice-off, our back-packing as soon as the trails are clear, and put our canoe away when the lakes freeze.  We needed to up-grade from a 2-man (MEC's Tarn 2) to a larger tent, as it was a tight squeeze to get the third party (our trusty springer spaniel) in as well.
We opted for the MEC "Apollo", a roomy 4.5 sq. metres, two vestibules and openings, and weights a scant 3.2 kg.  It packs down well, and the bag provided is a good size (the folded tent and fly fit in well.)  and doesn't take up too much room in either a back-pack or portage pack.
It is a dome style tent, aluminium poles, easy to set up, and does well in rain and wind.  The two vestibules give a lot of "gear space" as well.
Our only negative finding is that it did build up moisture under the fly  on one particularly cold, rainy night in the Rockies, but then our dog was pretty wet when he crawled in.  Other than that, it was a good choice.
