If I were to go to ground with a maccat, do I have as many options as I would with a tarp made for this? This is definatily not a critical decision but something I would like to know. Do you have any pictures of hammockless setups?

Trust nobody!
MacCat deluxe will work fine for ground use. While I haven"t used it in the woods, I have set it up many times in my yard just in case I had to go to ground. (Bald Mountains, for views) I used my treking poles and 8 stakes. Two stakes to hold each treking pole. The cord I used to hang my hammock worked for ground. I'm a ccf pad user. No I need nothing extra to make this work in the woods.
Ok thanks. im still hanging but just wanted to know just how versitile my gear is! Now Im just waiting on the tarp!

i forgot to mention i only need 4 stakes when hanging, 8 for ground use. 4 extra stakes cost me 2 ounces using golite tent stakes.
I used my OES standard Maccat in the flying A design, worked fine
Could I also do things like the Half pyramid? And do that cat cuts have any noticible effects in bad (ie strong winds, horizontal rain) weather?
