I like the XLC bugnet, shelf and tie-outs better than my HH also, but I'm not yet sold on the over cover. Without a double zipper, it appears that it might be hard to vent - and a bit claustrophobic. I'm thinking I'll only use it in sub 20F degree weather, but I'll test it some.
All in all, I think I'll like it... hope to test rig my HG and JRB underquilts this week and do a test sleep before next backpack trip in March.
Good stuff.
