I've been looking for a tent as well.. I looked at the Copper canyon, but I wanted to get one with a dome. Here are a few of the ones that I am considering:

Eureka Tetragon 1210 Family 12- by 10-Foot Eight-Person Tent
Kelty Green River 6 person Tent
Kelty Grand Mesa 6 3-Season Backpacking/Camping

Eureka is getting alot of recommends on this thread, but i haven't heard anyone say anything about the Kelty lines. Right now I am leaning rowards either the Kelty Grand Mesa or the Eureka Tetragon for the following reasons:
1.) Single door (i have young kids, and I don't want them getting up and letting themselves out. It's easier to block a single door.
2.) Its lighter, has aluminum poles, and has a vestibule
3.) Factory taped seams on fly/floor.

I've seen a few reviews at various sites, and all three seem to get good recommendation. Any experiences with Kelty bad or good?
