So the poles themselves are actually a little larger/heavier (1.6 pounds) than I realized when I ordered, but I still think they will fit in our luggage okay and according to all the reviews saying these are the best poles out there, will hopefully be worth it.

I think you'll need to sacrifice the underquilt to attempt to make this budget.
Maybe the Wildhorn Outpost - an 11 ft hammock w/ real suspension for $50. Add a structural ridgeline (~$5) after the fact.
Use your existing insulated pad, possibly supplement with a CCF.
Kelty Noah 9 is $50. The 12 is 20 bucks more, and provides more coverage, but limits site selection a bit more.
Of course, I suppose it must be said that using the word "ultralight" and trying to hit under 200 bucks is a total pipe dream. But you can get decent normal quality stuff in that range.
