Okay guys, I need some help! I am about to buy a hammock and used to think that I absolutely had to have a top cover, so the price difference between the Thunderbird and XLC with the topcovers price wise was really the only reason that I chose to go with DH. Now I am waiting on responses from my post on Overcover Thoughts to decide whether it is the right fit for me.
So herein lies my dilemma:
I absolutely love the Idea of having a gear shelf and foot box that the XLC offers, and it was my original pick. Then after looking into top covers I decided that I needed one, and that put the XLC out of my budget.
Then, I found Dream Hammocks and fell in love with them (via pictures, no real life experience) as well as their cheaper price point with cheaper topcovers.
I am starting to think that a top cover is not for me, and If that is the case I am leaning towards the XLC, unless someone can change my mind!
So my question: What should I get? Has anyone used both? Help! I am scheduled to meet with the Smith's from Dream Hammock tomorrow to test different hammocks out and see what features I like, but I don't want to waste their time if it's not going to be the right hammock for me. I want this purchase to be the last Hammock that I ever buy (for myself. I am already biting at the bit to get my 7 week old in a hammock!).
