The first thing that popped into my mind after reading your 1st post was the REI Base Camp series.
My last 3 tents (going back 10 years) have all been REI tents, and they're ALL still in great shape. I've upgraded over the years as my needs and desires have changed, but I can't bring myself to part with perfectly good tents. REI has great warranty / return policies (if you're a Co-op member).
Also - You can go to any REI, and pull any tent(s) you want, and set it up in the store.
