Outwell Birdland 3 would fit the bill for you. If you stretch to a 4-man tent it opens up a much more varied choice .Kampa hayling 4 as an example. 3 berth tents tend to be more of a lightweight and short stay tent whereas 4-berth are more likely to be more camping biased. Remember--you get what you pay for!

Most mainstream manufacturers seem to have stopped producing a decent sized 3 berth tent with sewn in groundsheet and with stand up height.
Ideal for a couple of even solo campers.
Vango used to do 2-3 models but dropped them from their range,as did others.
The Outwell Birdland mentioned is a good tent as is the recommendation to possibly look at the smaller 4 berth tents.

Take a look at the De Waard tents. We bought one 2 years ago, had to visit Gouda to collect from an agent, lovely tent, warm and dry with a fantastic SIG that you peg out first and then dump the canvas on top, zip it together and then erect the tent, expensive but if your a long term camper well worth the money, comes with a years warranty but they mean 365 days of assured camping, very pleased with our Tunnel tent, the other advantage is as one unzips it from the SIG all the individual bags are lighter, groundsheet IN one, canvas in another, poles in third bag and zIP onto front extension in the forth, makes it lighter while loading and being in reasonable sized bags easier to load and store away, just take a look on the web, may not be for you but for us is fantastic.

I have the Vango Calder 400 tent for solo camping. I am able to erect it on my own.
Fully sewn in groundsheet and 185cm standing height.
The front sun canopy can be rolled right back out of the way to fit a full canopy. I have the Vango Loire 400 enclosed extension/canopy. The Calder 400 and Loire 400 tents are the same size.
Like the OP I also have too many tents.

Hi We have just upgraded to the Cabanon Barbados which is great for 3 of us, just had a first trip out and it's the easiest and quickest tent to pitch. I should imagine that the smaller version - the Cabanon Guadaloupe would be great for two. Here's UKcampsite reviews:
