I dont care if you have 50 of the tents. I'm telling you what I think. I think its a bad tent unless you need it specifically for what its designed for - backpacking. Even then, there is better tents under $200 (for backpacking).
OP is looking for a "nice tent" maybe with 2 rooms and you recommend an expensive, tiny, and awkward Marmot. I dont think should be recommending specialized backpacking tents to somebody that has little experience with camping and tents; you are sending them in the wrong direction. His brother is likely going to be camping at campgrounds - not on the side of a mountain he had to climb with all his gear on his back.

A blind retard could set up my Marmot tent in under 5 minutes. Specialized backpacking tent... pah! Okay, OP. Buy a shitty dome tent that leaks and has drafts and no footprint or rain fly. That's the way to go for under 200 dollars.

not sure you want to go that big. Get two small ones, place them next to each other...The bigger it is the more difficult the assembly

If you complain about tent assembly, you shouldn't camp imho.
