I just picked up a Eureka Kahona 4P Tent! It's amazing to nap in
I've been using a cloud up for several years and I'm pretty happy with it. It's light, easy and quick to set up. Downside is only one entrance and the vestibule is small. If you can find a Eureka Kohana, they are awesome tents. I use a 6p as my family tent but the 4p would be perfect for you. I don't love the Coleman tents. I much prefer a full-fly tent. My Coleman leaks like crazy in heavy rain.
People math and tents get hard. I'd always lean towards one person extra, so a 4p tent. There aren't a lot of light options in 4p tents though. We used a Eureka 4p tent for years, that weighed 8 lbs, and tried several times to find an alternative but never found anything worth it. At the actual 3p level, we have a Nemo Dagger Osmo 3p, that is pretty amazing, but we've only ever used it for 2 people. It's also very expensive, and doesn't seem to go on sale very often.
I LOVE my 4p Eureka! tent. Bought it used 10 years ago and just redid the waterproofing and seam seals.
I’ve got two Eureka’s (2 and 4 person). The two is from 1995. No issues with either
