Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Ultra Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season
Planning to spend a week or two in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness? Keep your pack weight really low—carry the Big Agnes Copper Spur Ultra Light Tent. Yet you don't have to give up space and comfort to go light: The Copper Spur has two doors and two vestibules so three people can come and go and not get in the way of each other. A mesh top and partial mesh sides allow air circulation for less stuffiness and excellent, bug-free stargazing when the rain fly is off. This three-season tent features tent-pole-making company DAC's super lightweight, durable tent poles. DAC made these poles using an eco-friendly process that eliminates the need for two toxic chemicals and that recycles wastewater. These aluminum poles fit together using Big Agnes' hub-pole system to make setup fast and easy.
Bottom Line: Don't make unnecessary sacrifices in order to go ultra light—pack the spacious Copper Spur Ultra Light Tent for your next adventure.

I'm trying to compare this tent (copper spur UL3) versus the Nemo Losi 3. I can't decide between them, because I don't have much experience with either brand or with tents in general. Does anyone have advice on the pros and cons of each? Thanks!

I would say the copper spur merely because i am a huge fan of this tent. I have set it up in matter of a minute alone and the frame is super simple.
The materials are tough but almost see-through because they are so light. (Dont worry, you will not be able to see through so privacy is solid.)
The nemos are pretty cool since they dont require poles and are pretty dang light too. I have not heard or been able to test them in terms of strength against teh conditions so I cannot say, but I am a bit leary myself of theri strength compared to something like this.

Is this tent really seam-sealed or taped? The Big Agnes website says it's taped, but this website says sealed.

Both terms can be sometimes used interchangeably. Regardless of the term itself. the floor is sealed and you will not find leaks.
