I get it and I guess most folks here do too. They're not the same people that made the videos you saw, I suppose.
Everything has to have a car analogy, so I'll try one. Bear with me. If you went car shopping and you went to a Ferrari, a Lamborghini and a Porsche dealership (the videos) and one of them managed to sell you one of their cars and then you went home to the family, wife and three kids, with your sports car to find that you can neither fit the family in the car nor even do simple grocery shopping with it and you regret that you remortgaged the house to buy the car as well
Now you're telling the Dodge dealer that wants to sell you a Grand Caravan that you won't even do a test drive with the family, because you're so disappointed by car salesmen.
I'm sure you can actually make that $350 hammock work for you (though I personally have a WBBB XLC but I definitely had a learning curve - see Shugs video) with that as well. And that was _after_ I fell in love with hammocks in a cheap $40 CAD Amazon hammock (I fell alseep in it by accident). This only to show you that the first impression one has might have a huge influence. I definitely was thinking about sending the XLC back too when I got it but in the end it was just that it was _different_ from the other hammock such that I had to learn what to do differently with it.
Hang in there (pun intended)!
