I own 3. I think this is reasonable for one with multiple camping situations. Really like this one you've posted in the photo. The older I get and the more tents I buy (and often let go of), the more I appreciate the dome setups. I have two identical Coleman's Flatwoods II with 60" headroom that are my go-to even when solo camping. (No backpack camping) When cared for and stored properly these are an ace-in-the-hole. All criss-cross dome setups are subject to pole deterioration so I don't count that against the manufacturers.

I’ll add this, we used a 10x10 Coleman for years while car camping with two kids and felt it was plenty roomy. The same size Springbar feels much larger in comparison due to the straighter walls & high ceiling. You mention Burning Man and wind being a concern. I set this tent up in the yard for ten days to season. Completely dry through two rain storms, including one with 50mph gusts. I’m starting to believe the hype surrounding these tents.

I like the Coleman 6 man dome tents. I use them for my Girl Scout troop. They have a 10x10 foot print which works with just about every campground. They pitch easily (I have children pitching them). They fit two queen air mattresses if that’s how you want to go. You can also fit four cots or (my favorite, you can arrange 3 cots in a U and have plenty of room in the middle to stand and get dressed. Tall enough to stand in. They pack down into something reasonably sized. They’re cost effective. I buy them second hand from people who went camping once and decided they didn’t like it and I end up paying about $50 each. I have 9 of them now.

6 person tent is nice and roomie but you only need a two 4 person tents. I'd go Coleman as a basic tent it comes with everything but a tarp to lay under it. Scouting they usually tent two to a tent with smaller kids having an extra person in their tent.

Lost my Coleman darkroom 6 person tent a few years ago to a heavy snow storm, replaced with their regular 6 person dome from Costco on sale and I miss the darkroom tent so much. Best car camping tent I’ve ever used.
