Marmot Tungsten 2p is awesome. I use it for solo backpacking trips and got the 3p for when the wife comes with me. They have a UL version too, but the regular one is light enough. I’ve had mine for 6 years and it’s been on countless trips and held up under some sketchy conditions. It’s darn close to MSR quality at a fraction of the price.
Great choice. I’m on my second Marmot Tungsten 2 person. It’s not ultra light, though. My first one went through some crazy rainstorms, always kept everything dry. The glue on the seams really disintegrating, but still waterproof. I got a great deal on a new one, so picked it up
Sundome is much lower quality than the other options. If you're looking at Coleman, step up to at least the Skydome.
Funny enough I was going to recommend the Basecamp. Ventilation isn't great with the fly on but that's very common with cheap tents. I like wooded campsites anyway where you can angle the mesh portions of the tent into the trees and keep the non-mesh facing the walkway for privacy.
Kelty kinda owns the cheap-but-mostly-quality space. The Discovery Trail 3P is very meshy which helps with ventilation but still a lack of fly vents. If you can stretch the budget or find a good sale, the Kelty Rumpus 4 is a killer deal. Lots of ventilation, vented fly, and a great vestibule that you can keep wide open to help with ventilation.
The Teton looks fine. I like the look of the higher denier fabric and vented fly. Teton has historically been a cheap crap brand but they've really made some improvements in the last few years. I don't love that their "lifetime warranty" explicitly mentions that things like bent poles are considered normal wear.
The marmot is an excellent option if you can get it at a good price and you're genuinely okay with a 2p.
Honestly? Neither. I have a Tungsten 2p and it's not my favorite. The Paria's yellow colour is an absolute deal breaker for me (though perhaps not for everyone). Let me ask a few questions and I might be able to guide you a bit better:
* budget?
* where will you be backpacking and for how long?
* what season/temps/any major inclement weather like high winds, etc?
* solo hiking? carry a lot of gear or minimal?
* any weight limits?
Immediately off the top of my head I'd suggest something like the [Naturehike Mongar 2p](https://www.naturehike.com/products/mongar-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent). It's a similar price to the Paria, available in a variety of less objectionable shades, and very very good quality. At 6"2 and 210 you're not going to want a 1p tent at all.
I'm 6'2" and shopping. Recently ordered a Marmot tungston. Tried it out and it was too short to lay in without even adding a sleeping pad and bag.
Also have a cheap Kelty 2p that is definitely shorter than that. I can make them work in good weather, but touching the walls would be an issue when it's wet.
A lot of 88" tents are only recommended for people 6'4" or shorter which does not give much room to spare for anyone over 6'. Not to mention most tent heights won't allow a taller guy to sit up straight.
