Thinking out loud here.
I tend to be the type that wants to either be putting in miles or fishing. Setting up camp and hanging out in my hammock isn't first on my list of priorities.
I keep thinking that my IDEAL setup could shave like 1/4 of a lb of weight by ditching the mosquito netting ...
It can get rather cold at night and during windy situations it might actually make sense to have doors and/or a hammock sock.
So why not just ditch the mosquito mesh, get a hammock sock, and a tarp with doors.
If I have a sock I'm not going to need the mosquito netting because the sock will seal me in... the added weight of the doors+sock are offset by losing the netting.
So all in all I'll actually have a warmer setup with the same level of insect protection.
