I’ve got the NF Wawona 6 thinking I needed the extra space but while its spacious and nice, it is a bigger pain in the a$$ to set up than my now go-to tent which is the Marmot Tungsten 3p.
Although it’s a tighter space, I much prefer it over the Wawona as it’s a fast set up and still pretty comfortable. Not to mention it’s actually surprisingly very durable for the price.
The tungstens are awesome. A little heavy and bulky for backpacking but you can totally make it work too. I have a 1p and 3p and they are my go to for car camping. I used to use them for backpacking until I got lighter stuff.
I picked one up at Sam’s Club (online) for $140 in January. Was heavier than I wanted (6lb) for backpacking. Anyway a quick google search Just showed $250-300 or so range.
I have the Tungsten UL 3p and we love it. Not sure how different the UL is other than materials?
Easy setup, very roomy, great in rain.
One vestibule is smaller than the other, stakes out closer to the tent so my wife who is 5'3" can reach the zipper easily.
It is very similar to the Limelite that we used to have, but half the weight.
Our other tent is a Durston X Mid, which we use most of the time. But we take the Marmot when we want a little bigger space or if we are taking the dog.
I've had that marmot tent since 2014 and use it at least 10 times a year. The rain fly seams will let a heavy rain weep through but besides that I've had zero issues.
I wouldn't think the waterproofing would give any issues if it's still new, it'll be roomier than that 2p as well.

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