I don't know the specifics of those Coleman replacement poles, but it seems like at 6mm diameter you are going to be adding a lot of weight if you replace the ones the Byer comes with. There's no way they need to be that thick since they are not load bearing in any way. They just help spread the net out, that's all. I would suggest not replacing the spreader bars, unless you actually lost or broke one. And if you do have to replace it, find something in a similar diameter and weight.
I should also note that in my last followup, the troubles I had with the under quilt fitting to my Warbonnet Blackbird were entirely my fault. I don't think I was attaching the suspension to the hammock properly, thus accounting for many of the problems I was having. The other talking points about the positive features of the Byer hammock are still valid, however. But it was unfair to bring the under quilt into the discussion since apparently I was doing it all wrong. I plan on keeping both hammocks because I think they are both great in their own regard.
