I'm planning a 3day backpack trip this weekend in northern arizona. I'll get a couple nights of playing around with it. I'll post my experiences next week.
My entire sleep system ... BB, yeti, Golite Ultra 20, MatCat deluxe with cords & stakes is only 4oz heavier than my prior system: SMD Lunar solo, NeoAir & WM Ultralight + Tyvek ground sheet, stakes, etc. I figure with some of the recent postings on lighter weight suspension systems, I should be able to eliminate the 4oz weight penalty ... or I could always spend more money and buy a spinnUL tarp ... or maybe not.
Hammocks have a real 'geeky' quality about them!
