I have the one man version for ultra light backpacking. It's a great bit of kit and certainly offers far more creature comforts than a decent bivi bag, for not much more weight.
You might want to try Cheaptents.com. Their prices are very good and I've always had great service from them.
As far as 2 person tents go, I'd also consider then Terra Nova Voyager 2.2. It's roughly 500g heavier than the MSR Hubba HP in 2 person format, but it's a fair bit stronger being a 4 season tent and offers a little more space for 2 lots of gear. Either way, you won't go wrong. Make sure you get a footprint for what ever lightweight tent you get.
I have just brought a Terra Nova Competition 2 tent from Uttings on offer for £260 instead of the RRP of £390. I have used this make of tent belonging to my mate before on Mountain Marathon events. It weighs in at not much over 1kg and also has a door each side which is great if two of you are using the tent and one needs to get up before he other.
