at 6'0" and 205lbs, would there be any advantages going to the 1.1/1.9 DL XLC vs 1.1 DL XLC?
Trying to compare the HH fabric to the corresponding WBBB XLC wasn't as straight forward as I thought it would be.
Thanks for your help.

Weight-wise there really isn't an issue. So the only real difference is length. I find a longer hammock to be more comfortable, but that's a plain gathered end hammock, not the BB. I've slept in a BB before and had no issue with the standard length (I'm 5'10"). Perhaps some others who've had both can detail any other differences.

With your weight and height, either hammock is fine. It's really going to come down to what features you want. I have both and I'm 6'2"/200lbs and not an issue with either. I do like the extra foot and the ability to take the bug net off on the XLC, but don't like the fact I lose the shelf with it off.
Really liked the feel of the 1.7 single. Had a nice stretchy feel compared to the 1.1 dl and just a tad lighter.
