Since I'm going to be moving to a climate where I don't have to worry about summer temps suddenly dropping into the 30s or freak hail/snowstorms, my 32 degree WM Summerlite will be a bit too warm for summer. I plan on using this new bag in temps above 45 degrees.

So I'm looking at either the JRB Stealth or the BPL PRO 90 quilts. They both weigh about the same, and I'm aware of the superiority of down vs synthetic. I can combine the quilt with a TiGoat bivy, so getting wet isn't a huge concern.

As I see it, the pros of the Stealth are the superiority of down, and the versatility of the head hole meaning not having to bring an insulating jacket.

The pros of the BPL PRO 90 are the safety factor of synthetic, the slightly lower weight, and the much lower price.

I am also thinking of combining either with my Summerlite to get a ~20 degree winter bag, so this could be the deciding factor; is it better to have a synthetic or down overbag?
