Have one coming to play around with.
Just got my netted version in today.
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
I've changed my setup a bit as I got to play with the hammock some today. I ended up using some rope through the channel that is shorter and not stretchy. Attached to that is the locking carabiner that came with the hammock. From there to the tree strap is a whoopie sling. I added a 550 ridgeline and connected both that and the shock cord to the locking carabiners. I also added a spreader bar near the head end to keep the net apart. This seems to work really well and the changes overall have made it more comfortable.
I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.
Here's the first hang of my double.

Lowered is better

Got the Netted one yesterday. They are using those locking chain links now instead of the hooks. Not bad at all for $25. I'll be buying another when it comes back around again(unless someone wants to unload theirs)

That's the Ikea GÅRÖ hammock stand. I did a mod on it to so I could add my fly:
