I've seen videos of both in action. It seems almost hands down that the adj webbing is way easier even though it is a few oz heavier. I doubt however that they would offer the line strap option unless there were many people who preferred it.
I can see weight shaving fanatics going for the line strap but I suspect that there is another faction who prefers the line/strap for other reasons.
The reason I'm asking is because I wanted the adjustable webbing suspension, but accidentally ordered the line/strap.
I'm thinking of sending it back, but if there are distinct advantages to the line/strap that I'm not aware of, maybe I'll stick with it.
The first thing that came to mind was mimicking my new Eno single nest by tying a biner to each end and simply adjusting the length of the strap by the number of times I wrapped it around a tree. Mind you that I've yet to hammock camp other than a few nights in my backyard trying out the Eno (though I have been bringing a hammock backpacking for many years).
I liked the biner setup of the Eno combined with Hammock Bliss straps, but compared to what I've used for many years - a hammock with about 30 feet of 1/4 inch poly rope on each end wrapped many times around a tree, the biner/strap was amazing.
So what are the advantages of the line/strap suspension outside weight?
