Does anyone have pictures of the new 2013 EE under-strap system? I have only seen one picture,
but it was hard to see because it was black straps on a black liner. It appears that the setup has been
greatly improved and this might help me make my final decision.

I have a couple of pics
showing the quilt attachment to a sleeping mat http://www.flickr.com/photos/11782997@N02/8893791079/
And another showing the other side of the strap http://www.flickr.com/photos/11782997@N02/8894414044/
There are 2 straps which fits approximately at shoulder and waist level.
And another set of optional elastic straps (74cm /29" long) if you prefer to anchor the quilt around yourself instead of around the
sleeping mat
I'll just add, in my experience owning both a katabatic quilt and an EE quilt w/ the 2013 straps….I actually prefer the EE straps. They're just as functional and a little more refined. Less fiddly in my experience.
I don't use the non-stretch straps with my EE Rev, but the stretch versions work really well. I usually put them under my pad. No drafts and it's not confining.
EE has updated the website with pictures of both 2013 straps systems.
I had trouble with the EE straps coming loose in the night, finally I flipped it over tied them on with knots in the strap. The katabaic straps were harder to setup but they didn't slip.
The buckles for the straps, whether you use the pad strap or the body strap, appear to be the same width and as the buckles on the MLD quilts.
