It is great and light, and you don't need to go to the Big Agnes, which is really the only other sensible option, i think.
Welcome to the site Emptyman,

Dont give up on regular pads just yet. You might try using a SPE from Speer Hammocks. I've used some pads in the past that would not allow me to shift the pad in the hammock so I know what you mean. When you use the SPE or a pad that will let you position it easily such as the Wally World pad in say a Hennessy Hammock, it is really only a matter of shifting it to the side a little while you get in.
