The cheapest-roomiest-easiest-fastest to set up tent I've used---when you throw all those thing into a pot & stir--is the Eureka Spitfire 2.
It is HUGE and LIGHT (under 3.8 lbs, I think). A 6-5er can make tent angels in it. There's no vestibule, but tons of room for gear. It has mesh for star-looking or bike-checking. It is not free-standing, but it requires only 3 stakes, and it's easy to repitch if you blow it on the first spot. The poles are short, about 13 inches, too, so they fit inside big saddlebags. It costs less than $150 most places. There are so may good tents out there. Tons. This one isn't head/ shoulders over any of them, but you'll never regret owning it, at that price. Eureka tents don't have the cache of Hilleberg (which I've owned an like) or the next rung down--MSR, North Face, Marmot, etc--- but they've never made a dumb tent, and the Spitfire 2 is....the Cheapskate's Choice.
