I've got a Sierra Designs Omega tent. It's a two person, but is quite roomy and deluxe. Brand new. It's over five pounds with the "factory" stakes, but you could swap out the stakes with some lightweight ones. Swapping out the factory stakes is a pretty common practice for people trying to lighten up.

Note on the Omega tent: this is the three season version of the tent.
