    Thanks for all the replies and the helpful imput!!

    I've finally decided on the NX250...

    I called Clark today to get some additional information and they were very helpful in answering my 50+ questions... The sales rep/tech guy was patient and we went through comparing the NX200, the NX250 & the smaller NA & NX150... we also discussed the info on their website making comparisons and also some of the "negative" concerns I read on the forums when reviewing the North American model... so far all of my questions have been answered.

    He said I should have plenty of elbow room in the RX250...

    Two new design features also helped me decide,... the tarp for the NX250 is a catenary cut & is somewhat larger (approx 125"L x 110"W); & the Weathershield is attached to the bugnetting so that you can enter/exit with one zipper... the Weathershield now zips on/off of the netting panel... with these changes & the new tent pole dome effect, and all of the other features standard with the North American or NX200... I believe I should have plenty to work with...

    I'm looking forward to getting it...

    I won't go into detail as Cannibal has already done that I will say I LOVE THIS HAMMOCK. I'm 5'11 220# and I have plenty of room, VERY CONFORTABLE. My wife however prefers my BB. If I had one criticism, I feel a LITTLE like I'm in a bath tub but I may just need to play with the hang a little more. The quality is OUTSTANDING. The zippers glide really well, no snags. When Clark comes out with the UQ, and with my OES custom tarp I think this is a really nice winter set up. I own a BB and the quality rivals Brandons, both are superb hammocks. I need to figure out how to rig the bugnet so I have the fewest attachments I can. Thats part of the fun, heh? As much as I like this hammock I'm not sure I would pay the retail price, I picked mine up used. The BB is an awefully nice hammock for a lot less, but first impressions are, I like the Clark a LITTLE better but not much. The BB FEELS a little bigger although it's not. I LOVE being able to completely remove the netting on the Clark.I like the double Layer on the BB, I will likely never use the pockets on the Clark except for when their UQ comes out.

    If you can get a Clark at a resonable price DO IT. It looks WAY COOL with the weather shield deployed. ( I used the word deployed )
    I hope I'm set for a while
