    Should I go with the classic WBBB or the XLC WBBB?

    I have read a lot of great reviews for the XLC and I've heard how revolutionary Brandon's original WBBB was. Being new to the hammock world I'm not sure which one to order.I am 5'7" on a good day and I know the XLC is made for taller individuals but I have also read somewhere that the extra length makes for a better lay regardless of your height. I am leaning heavily towards the XLC just for the added abilities over the original but that extra $90 dollars makes me question if I really need them. I know a lot of people on this forum had the original WBBB and have since moved to the XLC. Is the XLC hands down the way to go or is it just icing on top of an already awesome cake?

    I have both. Started with the original that my son now uses and moved to the XLC. Extra length is always a bonus in lay except when your anchor points are all too close together. I have yet to use the c part of mine even though I know this winter I will use the top cover. I guess what I am saying is either way you go you will be happy.
    Where ever you go,
    There you are.

    Just the convertible aspect of it is worth the xlc. the fact that it is longer and thereby more comfortable (IMO) makes it a sealed deal.
