With a new kid and the potential for more in the future (if this one doesn't kill me first), it seems like a good time to upgrade from the 2-person Eureka A-frame tent I've been using for car camping since I was 15. I've narrowed it down to the REI Base Camp 6, the Kelty Trail Ridge 6, and the ALPS Mountaineering Edge 6.

The tent will be used primarily in the summer and fall in the Catskills and the Dacks, with occasional trips out West.
Planning on using my REI dividend so it looks like I'm forced to go with what seems to be the newer models for the Base Camp and the Trail Ridge. Pros of the Base Camp are the large vestibules and seemingly burlier (150 denier on the floor) materials; pros of the Kelty are the lighter weight (for meeting airline baggage guidelines, not for any masochistic backpacking) and that cool-looking stargazing fly; pros of the Edge 6 are that it's half the price of the other two tents
Anyone have any recommendations or experience with these tents? Again, as best as I can tell the REI and Kelty models are newer and most of the online reviews are for older versions. Thanks!
