I think it very much depends on the size and build of the frame tent. If you are only 2 persons, you might do well with a "smaller" frame tent. I have nearly given up tent camping because of (mostly my partner's) health issues, but although we go caravanning now together, I myself have kept a lightweight poly tipi and my vintage canvas frame tent for occasional solo camping. The frame tent is appr. 3 x 4 metres, with an inner tent for bedroom, and I feel there is lots of space for at least 2 persons.
I can carry the bags with the canvas and the steel poles for shorter distances, and I am not very strong.
Last time I put up the tent on my own, it took me 25 minutes, and it was not too heavy. That is only 5 minutes longer than pitching my lightweight tipi.
It doesn't have a SIG of course, but I have made a "bathtub groundsheet" from a tarpaulin.
I have used it for an overnight stop and didn't feel it too much work for that. Only make sure not to take too much to put inside the tent - arranging the rugs, inflatable sofas, flower decorations, and kitchen outfit is the thing that takes hours!! :-D
