I just saw this on FF's site:

Comes in 40*, 30* and 20* bags. If nothing else, it expands the market and from a reputable company, too.

I picked up the 20 degree version last month, and my initial impressions after a couple of uses are positive.
Pros:
The drawstring footbox works well and is a great way to vent excess heat.
The way the quilt overlaps and creates a draft tube effect when zipped.
The ability to open it up as a blanket and close it up as a hoodless bag.
Cons:
The zipper catches occasionally, but that is probably due to user error/impatience.
I sold a Katabatic Gear quilt to pick this up. Overall, I'm happy with the tradeoff. I found that the closed footbox of the Alsek to really limit it's flexibility over a wide range of temperatures and so far, the flicker seems to solve this problem without too many compromises.
Wow, I totally missed that thread! Sorry!
