We had more MSR tents coming back to Bivouac with unhappy customers than any other brand. (We also sold a lot more of them, to be fair)
The condensation issue does seem to be real. The floor hydrostatic rating is also only 1200mm, which isn't much. The Hubba Hubba is reasonably sturdy against wind, but the materials seemed more prone to abrasion/random damage than other brands. You might consider the Mont Moondance - it's big for a 2-person tent and pretty bombproof. If you do go MSR I'd definitely get a footprint.
