packed size?

Hey everyone, I'm currently saving some cash in order to get my first hammock setup;
Warbonnet Black Bird 1.0 Double
Te-Wa Standard 3-season Underquilt
and either Warbonnet's The Edge, or the Big Mambajamba tarp, haven't yet decided.

But what I was hoping to find out is the packed size of each of these (or similar) products as I'm also in the market for a new pack and need to decide how large a pack to buy. Since I'm switching from a Tarptent Contrail, I really just want to see how the new set up will compare in packed size to my Contrail. Pictures would be ideal, but any replies are greatly appreciated.

I have a Contrail as well .... nice and small.
Here is my BlackBird and my homemade tarp (black Stuffsack) next to the Contrail.
My tarp is the size of the Edge tarp.
They all compress a bit too.

Wow, I clearly don't pack well, and/or have too much stuff.
