I'd just go a brand name like zempire where you know you can continue to get parts (like tubes) in case something does go wrong. The zempire pronto's were going for very similar prices not too long ago before goign eol.

I ended up with a Zempire Pronto, haven’t tested it in rain yet, otherwise it seems good.  Was also considering the Snow Peak Land Nest Dome, the Alps/browning Glacier, and the Naturehike Village.  REI just created a new Family tent called the Westward available in 4 and 6 person models which looks good.

Have found the Zempire air frame tents to be pretty bomb proof in my experience. I love the Oztents too - can't go wrong with them, but they're pretty long when packed.

Depends what you are willing to pay really. I have a NZ company one (zempire) that is about 6-7 years old now, it goes up at various spots for up to about 4-6 weeks (2-3 weeks for one big camp in our summer Christmas/new year period, then another 2-3 weeks worth all up over long weekends etc) total a year in harsh NZ sun and through autumnal storms and hurricanes here. I will keep it until it dies (that will probably be quite awhile given how it is actually holding up so far) then buy one of the canvas indlatables at that point. Takes me 10-15 minutes to inflate both the tent and gazebo, and it is a huge space too. It would take less on a newer model if you used a decent electric pump too. I know others who have gotten cheap ones and they do in fact suck big time. It depends on what you get.
