I've been using a SB in a hammock since I started hammock camping/hiking (close to two years ago) and after the first few trips and a little advice, have had no issues. Sure it's a bit frustrating if you do it wrong but if you get in the bag then in the hammock it's not too bad.
I'm not a gram counter by any means so the added weight means nothing to me, the pack size is what I care about and this bag meets the requirement.
I still don't see any valid reason to not use it as a TQ when I want too. The zipper, as mentioned, can be a bit bothersome but it's not a nail in the coffin by any means.
Also, how much did your cottage 750 FP UQ cost? I would have to estimate for versatility and price point the Kelty SB was a better deal for me.
