It wasn't too heavy for me, but I'm a pretty stocky dude. I don't regularly backpack, but I have backpacked with mine. 5lb 5oz plus footprint. Honestly I might not be the right person to answer that question considering I'm the type that even brings a 3lb ax backpacking. If it takes up too much space in one pack, you can split it between both of your packs. Poles and footprint in one, rest of the tent in the other.

I can't vouch for that one specifically, but I have the REI quarter dome t3 and it's served me well for a decade, and I was looking at getting the 3 person of the one you linked just because mine is showing its age at the taped seams. I don't think you'd be disappointed with it based on your criteria.
Hahaha, this is so brilliantly funny. Well done. If I were in your party I certainly would have approved.
