Well, REI has the Sierra Designs Vapor Light 2 XL on clearance for $166 so I talked to my son and he said get it so we pulled the trigger and bought one. Should be delivered next week. Looks like a great tent, price was under his $200 budget and his max tent weight limit of 4-lbs. So with his hiking partner each will be carrying less than 2-lbs for a tent.
Anyone ever use or have one of these?

How big is your son? If he is small, or they like feeling really cozy, it might work, but it's not a roomy tent. The interior peak height is low.
The tent was covered in backpackinglight's State of the Market Report: Two-Person Double-Wall Tents (2010).
If you have the money, something like a Big Agnes Seedhouse SL3 would have a ton more room for the same weight.
~$200 options: The last generation REI Quarter Dome T2 Tent is on REI's outlet site. That would feel roomier than the Sierra Designs Vapor Light 2 XL I think. Backcountry has the Marmot Aura 2 Tent in their outlet, which is similar to the Quarter Dome.
