Hi! Thanks so much for all your recommendations and thoughts!
I think our decision will come down to these very similar (price, weight, pack-size, quality of tent life) tents: MSR Elixir 2 and Big Agnes Blacktail 2
They're heavier and bulkier than I hoped, but angry-toddler-resilience and price are limits.
Alternatives are Big Agnes C Bar 2 and S2S Alto TR2 Plus
If I can pick your brain again: any positives or negatives on these?

Btw. Here's an amazing tent review video by a lovely person called Donna. If every tech reviewer ever was like this I'd never leave youtube again:
