Has anyone tried a Black Pine Turbo-tent? There was a brief review in Overland Journal last year which was very favorable. Also I met with a factory rep in Moab and she demoed the tent for me. It is unquestionably easy to set up but I was concerned about the pivot mechanism wondering how it would hold up to sand and grit. Oz-tent uses a similar folding pole arrangement and I have heard no problems from their design. Of note is that Oz-tent now makes an exact copy of the Turbo-tent at over twice the price.
The Turbo-tent does not pack down small and it is not light but is both smaller and lighter than the original Oz-tent (don't know where one could be carried in or on an FJC)
