I think that is exactly right. You are getting a hammock with particular feel from a heavier bed. The pockets, which Warbonnet includes in the Ridgerunner model, with nary a complaint here from anyone, don't add more than the light fabric weight, < 2oz. I could wonder about extra fabric in the hoods because they are not tailored; but mostly I value that in my experience I have always been able to use smaller and therefor lighter tarp / rain fly on the fabric canoe I hang from, because blown mist and rain doesn't collect in the last 18" of either end.
