Ok. After a couple weeks lurking and reading and interacting, some of the details are starting make sense. At first I was starting to take it all in at once, but I had to step back, and like eating an elephant, I had to do this one bite at a time.
I started this discussion on the Grand Trunk, but let me continue it here in a more general approach. After Mickey.223 passed me an Excel spread sheet of the data (thanks, BTW!), I was really able to see and grasp the individual parts more clearly. I am looking at the GT SBUL and SBPro (especially the latter). The SBUL has a length of 9'6"; larger than all Hennessies but smaller than Warbarbonnets. The SBPro is larger than most anything else, but is still narrower than either the HH or WB. (I am not looking at either a HH or WB, necessarily, just using them for comparison).
1) What can I expect from the narrower profile of either of these GT models?
2) For the SBPro with a length of 10'6", how much larger of a trap should I be looking at in order to get complete rain coverage?
3) What other considerations should I be thinking about which I may have missed?
I hope I am not being too wordy or overthinking in my approach. It seems unlikely that I will have a reasonable opportunity to really try out any of these hammocks without buying one, so I want to make sure I am making a reasonable decision....
