I have had the same experience! I originally wanted a smaller hammock than the average purely due to my UL backpacking obsession but quickly found that the wider, longer hammocks just aren't as comfy to me. My Slice of Heaven is almost exactly the same proportions as your Lean Green and I have never had a uncomfortable hang in it though some longer predecessors were just disappointing. I have long since had the suspicion that a shorter hammock is actually more luxurious and the fact that it weighs less is purely a bonus!
