So either get a model with a large vestibule, or get a 3-person tent.
But getting a 3 person tent not only weighs a ton, but doesn't really help with storing stuff if it is actually wet - you want to keep all the drippy stuff well clear of any sewn in groundsheets or you will end up huddled on an island (your sleeping mat) in a sea of water - I know I've been there in more inexperienced times
Best to just get a tent that suits your needs. I know they can seem expensive, but a proper tent is well worth it and in 10 years when you still have it and work out the 'price per night' you will find the tent has actually been very very cheap.
still don't think the price of Hillebergs are justified though
