If you look towards the top of the main Touring and Expedition forum index page you'll see a link to the camping sub-forum: you'll find lots of recommendations there for tents at this price and weight-point. The Wild Country Zephyros and the Vango Banshee are the names that seem to crop up most often.

I think i'd look for a previously loved Vaude Taurus Ultralight - three season, quick erection, reasonably spacious for two and will squeeze under 2kg. You could expect to pay @ £100 for used but a new one is only £250!

Convention? what's that then?

That's two different tents - the old version £110, 1.8kg, and the "Lite" version £190, 1.4kg. There's also a "Lite XL" version that's the lite construction, bigger, and the same weight as the original.
