I have a number of tarptents that I’ve bought and used over 20 years. They’re fantastic, I haven’t noticed and quality issues at all. I like the double rainbow myself in silpoly. They occasionally have sales or blemished items. For DCF most will be $500-700+. Z packs duplex might be where you want to go if you want to save up a bit more. I’d check out slingfin as well.

Since you want a double wall, I can suggest the Nemo Hornet 3P. Lighter and roomier than the Big Agnes Copper Spur 2P (which my wife and I also have). Available from Amazon so you can use your $200 card. Another great tent is the TarpTent Rainbow 2P Double Wall. None however are UL.

I love my Double Rainbow by TarpTent. Holds me my gear and my Lab comfortably. I’ve been in a few major storms and it holds up great. I’ll add that customer service is great and very responsive

alternatively, the tarptent double rainbow (all variants afaik) fits a 6’3 person easily. it is out of OPs budget though. might be worth to BIFL source: personal experience
