Third time is a charm right?

We're shopping for an inexpensive 2 person tent.

We're most likely not going to do any above-the-treeline camping, but may deal with rain. Any suggestions?

Are you looking for a backpacking tent or something geared more towards car camping?

What's your budget?

The rei passage 2 (the tent I've had for years and I can't recommend enough) and half dome 2 are good choices for $100-200. There are actually a lot of options at that price range and I think backpacker magazine just did a writeup of best gear for specific prices, most will weigh around 4-5 pounds. Over 200 and they'll start to approach 3-4lbs. Kelty Salida also comes to mind, but really pretty much every brand makes a 3 season 2 person tent around $200.

Ouch. That sucks, I'm guessing you can't purchase a new rain fly either. I've never looked into individual pieces other than footprints.
