For $100, that Kelty is a steal and will work fine for car camping and lighter backpacking. At 4 lbs, it's decent. If you want something lighter that'll last, look at the Marmot Tungsten UL 2, around 3.5 lbs, under $300 on sale. It's a solid do-everything tent.
I had a Kelty Grand Mesa 2 for years and it was a good, dependable in poor weather tent. Nothing special or stand out about it, but it did a great job for the price.
The $170 OneTigres is the 1p tent. The 2p OneTigres tent is $200.
As a couple others have stated, a four season tent won't really keep you a whole lot warmer. It's made to withstand heavy snow load. Is that something you know you're really going to need?
You can get a quality 3-season 2p tent for less than 5lbs and less than $200 pretty easily. I'd look at the Naturehike Cloud-Up 2p or the Kelty Grand Mesa 2p.
I've had good luck with Kelty gear in general over the past few years. In my opinion, Kelty is the best bang for your buck camping gear company out there.
My Grand Mesa 2 gas held up great in some poor weather, but I do wish the pole structure offered more interior space. The pre-bent poles in the Late Start models will help with that, but I've always been curious as to how much. I'm also quite interested in the Far Out tents, as they also offer additional pole structure.
For the longest time i used a kelty grand mesa 2, which i still think is great for a starter backpacking tent for a sub $150 pricepoint. Used it in 3+ seasons with light snow. But nothing major
Recently upgraded to a tarp tent double rainbow, which gets my vote for a no brainer mid price backpacking 2 person tent.
But you need to ask yourself what metrics are you basing "best" off of?
If its just weight, then any 2 person dyneema tent from cottage manufacturers will fit that requirement.
For me, i want a balance of price, features, longevity, and weight. So tarp tent fit the bill nicely for me.
I may even get their premium dyneema offerings some day if i feel the need to go lighter & have the coin to drop $600 on one.

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