Have you checked out the shape of the trango 2 by mtn hardware?  I think
it's the perfect shape.  Unfortunately it's expensive and heavy (do to 
it's design for storm endurance).  I believe a lighter tent could be 
rigged for storm durability with a little extra rope, as long as you're 
not looking for snow load capacity.  Soon there will be cheaper light
knockoffs of these nice tent.  

Check out this tarp that John Winter's previously directed my to:

I want one of the dryfleas, but I'm waiting for the price to come down.
