I know nothing about airbeam tents, other than they are very expensive! but having read this thread, just wondered if you went for the 5 berth or 6 berth, I would have gone for the 6 berth without doubt, simply because if there is a possibility of your wife and dog coming along sometimes, two adults, two kids and dog would probably need that extra space.
Also, I know from experience that kids have an annoying habit of growing, rather rapidly, and the tent that seemed fine when they were junior school age suddenly becomes a heck of a lot smaller when they get to senior school age!
Just a thought.

Glad you found something that suited you, as I said I know nothing about the airbeam tents, so thought as you didn't have all the pole threading and pegging to do that the weight would not be so much of an issue once the tent is out of the car, but the extra space would be welcome.
You're right that the kids can help, mine all did from a very young age!
Enjoy your new tent
