Specs:
The opinions on the ENO here will generally be poor. Some people love theirs. I think they're too short and too heavy, and that tarps need to be fully modular so that your weight doesn't affect their hang (or the hang of the bugnet).
You won't get a straight answer on side sleep in a gathered end hammock. Some people say no problem (with adequate length/diagonals) some insist it's impossible. I'm a dedicated side sleeper, but I find back sleep to feel natural in a hammock. If you don't there's always bridge hammocks.
Entire kit for under $200 will involve compromises. BTW the kit listed wasn't complete, missing top and bottom insulation and bug net.
Here's a cheaper, lighter, longer, more complete setup:
2lbs 8oz, $124.50. Insulation is expensive, and there's absolutely no staying within your budget below a certain temperature. You could stay under $200 (above 40-50°) making your own quilts out of costco down throws, for which there are several popular designs only a quick google away. No sewing machine access/skills? Make the gemini quilt.
If I was you, and I was going to ignore eveyone telling me that noncottage hammock kits are too heavy for backpacking, I still wouldn't get the ENO. Here's a more complete, lighter, cheaper kit that's supposedly ideal for side sleepers and comes with a great warranty/return policy:
REI Quarter Dome Air
Bridge hammock, suspension, bug net, and rainfly for $153.89 at 3lbs 8 oz.
Overall, the setup will be not only cheaper but more comfortable and durable than ENO and Kammock (I recommended Kammock because I like their fabric more than ENO but have the same shortcomings in terms of price, size and weight).
