I have the nevis 200, love the little thing but haven't been out in strong weather lol so couldn't say for sure but seem solid enough for a decent wind with the lower profile. i also got the oex bobcat ultralight but would say dont bother with the normal one as i am a bit crammed in but i plan using it in good weather lol. If you're anything like me youll want a few different tents for different situations lol. My advice is to just get something thats you think will be good and from there youll be able to see what you really want/need.

I wouldn't discount the Bobcat. I use one for bikepacking and it has been perfect for me

Don't know about that one. I have a Vango Banshee 200 which I wouldn't recommend for two even though it is a two person. And a OEX bobcat, which is a (great) 1 man. The cloud peak has been my most recent buy, and I have a lot of love for this tent. Have even taken it on my last few solo adventures

I love my Vango Helvellyn 200. Great vestibule, plenty room inside and standing on its own means it's way easier to move if you realise your spot isn't a great pitch. I also have an OEX Bobcat that I have a bit of a love hate relationship with but a lot of people swear by them. It's a lighter option than the Helvellyn, has a decent vestibule and it's got a built in footprint for the vestibule too, which I really like. It's a touch cramped though and I struggle with the sloping back.
