Bear Butt makes a cheap and reasonably good diamond configuration tarp that should work for you. Two of my friends use it happily.
Just to throw an oft-repeated comparison out there, if hammock coverage is your goal than the Yukon Outfitters Walkabout is 11'10" x 9'4". It has fewer guyout points than the Kelty as it is an asym tarp meant specifically for hammock usage. However, it has an integrated ridgeline seam and weighs 10 ounces less than the 9' Kelty and 22 ounces less than the 12' Kelty. It's only $40, but it shows up on Woot now and again for around $20 (which is where and when I last bought one). The Bear Butt is very similar... suspiciously similar, but only $30. If weight and packed size are your concern, this is a small additional outlay.
If you want a flat tarp for non-hammocking purposes the Kelty is an excellent deal. There are lighter options out there for cheap, but not as cheap as this... At the moment. Sanctuary or Bear Paw Designs are usually at the bottom of the price ladder and will be significantly lighter and pack smaller at around a $70-$80 price point.
I'm just pointing out that the Noah's Tarp may very quickly become an intermediary purchase for people once they realize that lighter/better options are out there and financially within reach, and this one sits in a tote in the basement forever thereafter.
If you don't care about the weight, jump on this deal. Bet you it won't last.
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).
