I'd carry my non hammock setup too, incase no trees. So MLD event bivy, thermorest neo air x lite and sleeping bag. Hence wanting a light hammock. I did have one at home before and lazing and afternoon away in it was always a delight.

This was the reasoning behind me buying one, but after a few nights in it I well and truly decided ground camping was 'better'.
It's insanely comfortable, however that wasn't enough of a trade-off for the increased pitch time(not that I was practiced in it), not much fun in proper wind, the aforementioned mat problems, and the pack weight/size. -
I never got comfortable in a hammock with a mat - the mat kept slipping away bringing in cold spots. Something to bear in mind - hammocks aren’t for every occasion.

Add the underquilt to those weights as well, because it can get quite cold hammock sleeping.
*You could just use an insulated sleep mat, but I never could get it to stay in one place.
