Hang Williams, my take on it is comfort has more priority than a pound. Meaning if you like the feel of a DL hammock, then that DL BBXLC is going to weigh more than any SL hammock (even with the “lightweight” DL option). Your Wooki may weight a little more than just an UQ - especially if the UQ is not full length. If you are 5’6” or shorter, that a ¾ length UQ is almost full length.
So it seems to me that you have a pretty good setup. Sure, you can loose .oz’s with a DCF tarp, but your wallet will be a lot lighter too. And DCF tarps are not all “Pro’s”, they have their “Con’s” too.
Your gear weight is already in line with several previous posts and only about a pound over those who are using more exotic fabrics and fills (950 down).
If you are a beginner, I’m sure things will change after a summer or two. But I’d suggest chasing ease of setup and comfort first, then dial down the weight if you want.
