So, I had finally decided that a Superfly instead of an Edge was going to be the next step for me (mainly due to the fact that I camp with kids, so I need privacy). I've been using an 8' x 10' poly tarp in a diamond pitch, and decided a wanted more compactness and coverage. I can't afford it yet, but I've started saving up for it.
In the meantime, I decided to take 11' x 11' poly tarp and set it up to see how it would work, since they're similar in size. When I did, I got overwhelmed by the size of the thing. Admittedly, I'm setting it up on my back porch, so I'm sure it seems larger than it is, but I'm getting a little worried that maybe this is too much tarp. Looking at the setup, I feel like the tarp is swallowing the hammock.

It's really the 2nd picture that looks like big, blue shed. However, the more that that I'm looking at them, the first one actually doesn't look that big ("doors" pulled up) and the bottom picture does "door closed" well. It may be just a matter of getting used to a bigger tarp.
I guess my real question is: does anyone regret having a superfly instead of a smaller tarp? Not so much for carry weight or bulk, but whether or not it's difficult to find enough space to pitch it?
