Chuck, I'm often a solo sleeper, so I invested in a Hubba.  One of my 
sometime paddling companions is a long-time Hubba Hubba (aka Mutha Hubba?) 
user.  She need more room than I do.  But, we both swear by our differing 
versions of the Hubba, whether to the first power, or squared.

It is a good, lightweight, storm-proof (been there, done that) three-season 
tent.  I got mine so I could upgrade the thickness of the pad under my 
tush, replacing a bulkier, roomier tent under-decks with more sleeping pad. 
  Right move.

If you are a solo sleeper, you might consider the Hubba.  With a tarp for 
kitchen and hanging out in bad weather, the Hubba satisfies all my tent 
needs.  I only use a tent for sleeping and napping, so why carry a mansion?
