My friend have it and I had a chance to play with it. Apparently they solved the main issue with fuel evaporating but otherwise it's bulky, expensive and doesn't hold fuel where it should be. You need to wait a moment for the excess to evaporate before lighting it. Also putting the right amount...

Basically there are two types of hammock. Straight "banana" lay (fe DD hammocks), and diagonal lay (most hand made stuff), also few specialty inventions like the bridge hammocks but that's more hassle than you get from it. With your size I wouldn't bother with the first type, too much shoulder...
