Eureka Timberline 4 . External aluminum frame. Roll out your tent, put the frame together, , clip to frame, stake it, rain-fly . About a 5 to 10 minute process .
Second on this. I have a Eureka tent I absolutely love. Bought a North Face that was bigger, but always kept the Eureka.
Recently sold the North Face and went back to the original Eureka.
You do not want all season or 4 season. You want winter or expedition. If you are doing real winter camping.
Growing up I camped year round in New England. We did a trip every month for about 12 years. We used green eureka a frames. If you are not base camping in alpine areas, then the expedition tents are overkill.
You're not dramatic.
I worked for an outfitter and we slept the listed capacity in the Eureka A-frames. When they call it a 6 person tent- they mean 6 bodies, there is space for 6 sleeping bags but thats it. When I guided trips the rule was you got your sleeping bags and a water bottle in the tent. Gear was stored outside under a tarp.
I have an LL Bean 6 person dome tent. I take it by myself. I take a cot and sometimes if its raining ill even move my chair in there.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
