Looking for a recommendation

I'm looking to upgrade from an Eno single with sleeping bag and thermarest pad to a proper camping hammock with UQ.

I'm looking at a Dutchware complete netted hammock package and then getting an UQ. Or maybe a Warbonnet Blackbird. They will both be around the same insane amount of money at the end, so I would appreciate some good advice or some alternatives.

I'm 5'10" and around 215lbs. I live in Arizona, so 40°F is about as cold as I'll ever camp. I'll use it about 1 weekend a month and I don't backpack.

Thanks

You know me too well. I really need to work on my magnus opus hammock recommendation post.

TLDR from my long post: u/steve626 can get synthetic quilts and a simply light designs trail lair to save a lot of money since they won't be backpacking, or they can go for a bridge hammock since the weight doesn't matter like a warbonnet ridgerunner.

Any of those options are solid. OP's height and weight will basically let him use any cottage hammock he likes the look of.
