Go under that or over. Buy a very shitty tent for starters (mostly heavy not very long living) until you know what you like and want (free standing, apsis, dome, tunnel, hang in inner tent, free standing inner tent, weight, 2-4season, etc.). Then look for a good quality tent that will last you long and fits you needs. Price range is up to over 1200€. Top of the end tents are made by Hilleberg, MSR, Fjallraven, TNF, Nordisk. Middle class in the price range you stated are tents from Salwa or Decathlon. I dont know a lot about Ul tents but if you are solo there are tons of quality options like hammocks or tarp setups that come close to tents or are even better depending on weight and situation.
For a mid/beginner level all purpose weekend hiking tent with lots of comfort id suggest Salewa micra.
For high end 4 season go Hilleberg.
Also second hand buying can be huge on tents. Many people buy MSR or Hilleberg and complain that those are still just tents and not Hotels or buy them for only one trip to Everest base camp. Can find those for fifty percent off.
Big brands and price often comes with good return policy.
Also there never will be a "best" tent its a myth. Just choose one that fits your needs the most.
Everything listed is my personal experience and im based in Europe, don't know shit about USA. Probably you got Walmart-REI/Coleman-Bigbrands
