I do feel a difference in stretch between the two, but it doesn't bother me at all. The extra width on my Darien is awesome, however. I am 6'1", and like the fact that the hammock and bug net don't press against my ankle in the Darien- which happens in my Raven at 58" wide. It's not a huge issue, and if I had gone with pull-outs on the Raven, it wouldn't be an issue at all. The pullouts on my Darien open up the hammock very well, and relieve any pressure spots on my shoulder and ankles.
