Gazelle T4 Tandem Hub tents would be perfect. Five minute set up and plenty of room. I (64M) have had one for two years and love it. They are not cheap but you will have it for a long time.
Ive got a T4 tandem overland edition and I’ve NEVER loved a tent like I do this one. I’ve camped in non stop downpours and it’s never leaked on me. So much space and I can stand up anywhere in that thing. Never had a problem with winds so can’t say too much about that aspect. Easy to put up/teardown and the bag is oversized so I’m not wrestling with it to try to pack back in. Seriously if and when this thing goes I’m buying another.
I second the Gazelle. I have the two room model and love it. Only complaint is it's tough to put up in sustained winds. It tends to collapse on itself before it's staked in.
We have a two Gazelle tents (one one-room and one two-room) and their gazebo. They are a breeze to set up and definitely not a gimmick!
I have a T4, T4+, and gazebo. We love them. They are huge and heavy which is not ideal when it comes to packing up all three for a camping trip. But we do love the easy set up and take down. We have not really gotten rain when we camp. The one or two times, it has been completely dry (besides some condensation on the floor but that goes for any tent).
I would suggest two tents then. We have a massive Gazelle tent and it is geared for 4-8 people but if I had to share it, I would only say four people comfortably with our stuff inside the tent too. It sounds like you have a pop up tent too? These will always be long and bulky because of what they are. Our old tent was very compact when packed up but was not a pop up and took longer to set up. My husband hates the size and weight of the Gazelle but it is the trade off of ease of setting up/breaking down that he gets for it. I think your idea to go bigger to fit more people inside a tent is not ideal if you are already worried about the size of your current tent.
Gazelle is a good choice and the 6p (the 4p is barely adequate for 1 with a cot and gear because of the lack of straight walls) is probably better but don't know if this meets your budget. Plus, it's folded size is HUGE, You need a truck or sizeable SUV to fit it. It stands at about 5 feet tall when folded down. There have been complaints about ventilation. Their mesh windows are so fine that they don't allow a lot of air flow. As well, the door is oddly positioned and if you have little ones in and out, it could be awkward. You can look at some good Coleman easy up tents that could serve you well.

Easy to setup Quality and durability have never been an issue for me or people I know. I'm sure someone somewhere will be like "they are junk". Condensation control is going to depend on the weather as there is plenty of vents. Might be better off with 2 T4's from Gazelle.
I'm only one season and 3 uses in but, so far my T4 has been great. Only real downside is it's bulk. It's long and heavy. But it's a castle of a tent.
Gazelle T4, North Face Wawona or Big Agness Big House. Agree the T4 is a bear to.load and carry. We use our Wawona a ton once we learned how to set it up hahaha
I have a Gazelle T4. Fits diagonal easily in the bed of my Nissan Frontier. Sets up so fast.
This is the way. Picked up a Gazelle T4 for $180 this year. Don't be a dick, but if they tent has a lot of cosmetic issues you can ask them to further discount. The T4 had a bunch of hay and dirt on the ground and they knocked off an extra $50 when I asked. Quick vacuum and it's pretty good.
Check out gazelle tents. I have the T3x and the T8. Love both. The T8 is too much for 2 people IMO. I'd take a look at the T4. Not the T4 plus. A bit big, but super easy to put up and take down.
