Tent Size For Vegging w/(2) 65w Full Spectrum?

I need a tent to veg in. I have a space for seedlings/clones and a different space to flower in.

I need a mid-sized space, and it has to be a tent, for two 65w, full spectrum, dimmable black boxes. This is where I'll veg. My question is floor space relative to my lights. Obviously those 2 lights are for smaller plants and I'm limited to only 2 at a time. If I put 2 plants in a 4x4 tent won't that makes the lights seam less intense vs only a 48x24 tent with the same 2 lights and same 2 plants?

Part 2:
Do you ways get the tallest tent that will fit? Seams a little overkill to buy a tent that's 80" tall when they're just gonna be seedlings that veg 4-6 weeks. They won't get near big enough to reach the top of an 80" tent.
Would a 60" or 72" tent be okay?
My friend said get the 72" so I can stand up in it. I don't need to be INSIDE the thing to use it.

I would get a tent as big as I possibly can and start with 5 plants. Then select the best two and grow them out to flowering. With a slightly larger tent, I could add another light that's the same wattage.

You're talking about expanding and adding a light.

Not helpful. Sorry.
