My coleman hampton 6 survived 50mph winds in the big bend area one year. I added extra guy lines to the posts and anchored them to big rocks which i built cairs over to hold everything down. It swayed a lot by survived My friends earth pimple had snapped poles by morning
Coleman Hampton 6 servered me well for a couple decades, and still is good but I transitioned over to medieval tents
Coleman Hampton if you want lots of space. It's a beast in bad weather too.
Coleman Hampton. You can standup on the whole thing fits multiple air mattresses if that's your thing and has a room divider. Easy enough to setup with 2 people. I can do it myself but it takes longer ofc.
The coleman Hampton tent. I recommend it to everyone. We're a group of 5 couples and we each have one. Extremely easy to set up. Poles come color coordinated so you know which one goes where. And Extremely roomy. We've had ours 3 years and it's been used a lot. https://preview.redd.it/5w07ipp35fyg1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27de97be865b49a09b696b494e4478224ebc7754
Coleman cabin tents. Used for years until we finally upgraded to canvas. The thing ill miss the most from my colemans? The swinging door. Awesome for day time use for getting in and out of tent without zipping and unzipping all the time. Hampton is the model we've had for 8 years or so. If youre near Baltimore, id even let you borrow mine.

The Sundome or Cabin series are car camping staples. Great value, easy setup, perfectly adequate for 40-75°F. The ventilation is decent and they're bomber in light rain. Downsides: heavier materials, can get condensation if you seal it up too much. Honestly for your use case, Coleman is probably the practical choice. The price difference could go toward a better sleeping pad or quilt which makes way more difference for comfort.
6 is the right call. It's pretty luxurious by tenting standards. Our 6 person Coleman as enough space to have a queen sized mattress on one side, where we each get our own "end table" (aka plastic bucket that we store camping gear in) to put our glasses, books, phones, w/e on. In the middl, we lay out a couple of yoga mats to make the ground softer, and then on the side opposite of the mattress we have our luggage. Our tent isn't quiet tall enough for the rnus to stand fully up right, but it's close.
