Tarptent Contrail, and Tarptent Stratospire 2.
Also have for a somewhat "permanent" camp tent is a Mont Extreme Dome.( Bought in '96 and used in Snowies and Arctic in wild conditions)- probably the BEST tent I have ver owned- never let me down!
I also have a Mountain Hardwear Weather Station 5/6 person 4 season tent.( got it for $700 when I worked for outdoor store ( Mtn Equipment) and got it for pro deal- retail 2500 at the time)
Also have a MSR Hubba HP and also 2 Moss Tents.( Moss are Probably the best tents ever made)- Now MSR
Have a GoLite Shangri-la 2
Also North Face VE-25
I also have a cheapy Vango Helium tent
Have a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1
And Salewa Sierra Leone ( old school) version bought in 98.
Last but not least have a MSR Carbon Reflex
Of all the tents I own, probably the Tarptents are my fave- despite the fact they are not "bombproof" as others, but for the design/weight and use they arwe hard to beat

Solo tent - I was thinking about getting a Zpacks hexamid but then read ULWalkingPhil's post leading to the MLD Duomid and have been procrastinating ever since. I'm still erring towards the hexamid just to save weight but I worry about the netting floor.

As far as repair goes, I'm not too sure yours is the most repairable, when the model goes out of stock you will not have any source of spare parts and warranty claims will be difficult.
