I have (and love) a Tarptent (http://tarptent.com/). Mine is a Contrail which sleeps one, and is not free standing, but they have several 2 person offerings. The Double Rainbow is 2 person and says "free-standing (with trekking poles)" (http://tarptent.com/double-rainbow.html#overview).
The Contrail & Double Rainbow are both single wall -- some people don't like (or don't trust) single wall tents but I've never had a problem with condensation or rain getting in. Mine is under 2lbs and packs reasonably small. I got it specifically for s24o-ing and it's been great for that. I've been super impressed with Tarptent and would get another (I'm only a satisfied customer, not a shill I swear!). I'm intrigued by Lyle's suggestion of the Black Diamond Mega Light -- I'd like to try that type of tent sometime. I have several friends that use the MSR Hubba tent and seem to like it. There's a two person version called the Hubba Hubba (http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/tents/experience-series/hubba-hubba/product). The Hubbas are free standing. All the suggestions in this thread have been good -- there are lots of great tents (and tent-like things) to choose from.
