in case this can help others... with my research, i was looking for an expedition tent (where all vents close up) with aluminum poles (for strength and less weight) that wouldn't be to big or heavy for plane travel. (see post about travel by plane and other questions)
i got an 8' x 7' "Wilderness Trails" Expedition Dome for $70! (most expedition ones i found cost much more.) it only weighs 8.5 pounds. delivery (for this and a $16 sleeping bag) was $14 via ground, and i got it in 4 days! not bad at all.
i got it here - (not affiliated just a happy customer) under the closeouts.

thanks for all of the advice! i'm sure i'll have more questions....
Found my tent!
