The Vango Helium 100 looks good at the moment, weighs 900g and costs $270. I've emailed Vango about their testing and have been assured that they are reguarly tested in 4 seasons in Scotland, including snow.

Some time ago I was interested in the Vango TBS Spirit 200+ shown here:

I could never find anywhere to have a look at one and don't know if it's still a current model. Eventually went with the WE Second Arrow. Partly because I had similar concerns as expressed in the thread below, and the Vango tent is nearly 4 metres long. Love that vestibule though!

Jusy checking back in on this thread to see what sort of tent you went with in the end. Was it the Helium or something else?
L8r.

I wouldn't expect to weather a heavy snowstorm in it with those large flat panels. (Whatever they advertise) I'd be interested to see how it goes in the mountains and your personal experience (I'd go somewhere with a hut nearby).
Notice they also make a v. light 2 person also...
I'm a bit peeved with Vango for their deceptive advertising of the sleeping bag I got so let's see how the tent goes- good Luck
