Jeff, Can't really determine if 3lbs will make or break a ride not knowing what other gear your carrying. But lighter usually makes for an easier ride I've found. Todays tents are light years ahead of tents just 5 years ago. I have a number of great tents but the one that I've been using for the last 3 years has been excellent, weighs 2lbs 12oz, it's free standing, 2 man with a full fly and vest. It's here: http://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/SeedhouseSL2 But as progress is always moving they now have a lighter version that has almost the same configuration but weighs 2lbs 2oz. It's here: http://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/FlyCreekUL2 .
There are others out there. I've been very happy with durability, size (I'm 6'4"), and vestibule with the Seed House SL2. Oh yeah and weight too. Fast and light beats slow and heavy and I'm always searching.
