I have a 3.2-roughly rebozo that is of unknown origin.  I have owned a maya, made 3 pouches, a MT and most recently a podaegi.  i also have another RS and started with the infamous BB.  i love my rebozo the most.  it is super quick for me to do and long enough that i can do honest rucksacks with my almost 3 year old.  i bought it on diaperswappers third hand and have not been able to find it anywhere.  i think they are well worth the investment.  i don't mind having the tail-i think of it as artistic.  i can do an excellant front carry that is super comfy and ds loves it.  IMO go a head and buy it.  our you can make your own,but i recomend buy because the fabric is wonderful.  if you have more ?? read here Http://www.cs.cmeu.edu/elly  ithink-very informative-she also has posts on TBW under ellyzoe1-julie
