Haha! We have the Hi Gear Kalahari 8, which does have a fitted groundsheet and takes us around 20 mins to 'erect' and then same for taking down (full review left on tent review thread). This does not, however, include putting up and taking down the porch we got for it too, so as much as we love our tent, I can't help but looking at the ones with intergrated porch...

If you like the Eternity 600 there are some amazing deals around. Now is a great time to buy any tent as there are deals to be had but the down sides are, limited stock and you dont get to see many good tent displays at this time of year.
the airbeam infinity 800 is only a 8 person and the airbeam eternity 600 is only a 6 person although they do seem to tick the rest of your boxs......
one thing you could consider is buying the extension/porch to go on either of theese tents and when you need the extra bedrooms use the living area as a bedsit style set up with one of the inflateable 5 in 1 couches (sofa come bed at nightime) quite snug and warm with the sewn in groundsheets, and keep any extra gear like kitchen stuff in the extension.....
that said in my opinion when you start adding extra porches to theese set ups the pitch time will be coming close to that of your wynnster...
maybee looking at large 8man tunnel tents with intergrated porch as apposed to the cross design of the wynnster might be the way to go as you only have one cylinder to build instead of 3 or 4 for a cross designed tent. Many of theese can be pitched in under 30 min.

Will agree with those suggesting integrated porches as soon as you start adding extras the pitch time goes up
Also try and find something that allows you to pitch the inner tent, groundsheet and flysheet all at once. I used to hate having to sort out stuff inside the tent especially if its hot !
After saying that we normally find we spend most of our pitching time 'discussing' where exactly we are going to pitch and moving the footprint around. This also normally involves me lying on the groundsheet to check my feet will be lower than my head when asleep!
