Perhaps if you can go to one of these hammock hangs and try out several different hammocks.
The community that you see here is a very straightforward community however. I would recommend you try out the chameleon if you don't like it resell it.
Of course you will lose money on it but if you look at things as if it were a rental to me it's a perfectly acceptable way of doing things. You would have spent the money to have rented equipment and in this particular scenario it is about the highest of the top end.
Although I've yet to sleep in one, I have tried several of the bug net/hammock combos and I can tell you I am not a fan. You sacrifice width of the hammock so that you have zipper attachment points for your bug net - I would humbly recommend buying a basic gathered and hammock 11' or longer - and then purchase accessories to make that particular model better. I don't believe that you're going to save a ton of money doing it this way but it allows you to play with things and switch things out. or use me as an example but living in Colorado a bug net is not an absolute necessity if you do most of your camping fall and winter and spring. So for me one of the hammock bug net combos would not be a very good item. I believe Dutch has patented the removable bug net - although even with it removed as I have said you sacrifice the width of your hammock when you do this. None of my hammocks are narrower than 60 inches.
Anyhow seriously consider buying and reselling as a method to start with it allows you to test and try things
