I agree. the length of the ridgeline does not decrease when you get in a Hennessy, but the distance from the ridgeline to the ground does decrease. If you use short side guylines then you will get some flapping. If you use longer side guyline then the flapping is not that much of a problem.

A small tarp will keep you dry, BUT if you want to cook, change clothes, etc. then a large tarp is needed. Why would I need to own 5 tarps is one worked best in all conditions? My "go to" tarp is the now discontinued Jacks"R'Better 8X8.
