[at-l] Solo tent opinions wanted

I'm in the market for a freestanding solo tent.  I'm considering the Marmot Eclipse and the Eureka Zephyr XT.  Pluses for the Eclipse seem to be lighter trail weight (3,12 vs 4,12) and quality, while the pluses for the Zephyr XT seem to be a larger, usable vestabule and the side door which seems like it would be more convenient.  I'd appreciate any opinions and experiences with these two or any other solo tent.  I'm definitely only considering freestanding - I'm tired of the hassle of moving a non-freestanding tent when the wind shifts and blows campfire smoke into my tent.
