New sleeping bag - 02/28/10 11:30 PM

I'm looking for a new sleeping bag. It would love to get away with spending only a hundred dollars, but am willing to spend some extra if i'm truely gonna get my moneys worth. I set a cut off at about two hundred dollars.

Im looking at a North Face Kilo Sleepingbag

Or a Marmot Never Winter

Is there anything cheaper that would be decent? If not, either of these two any good? Don't want to spend much more.

For the money that Marmot bg looks like a good deal. 600 fill down is medium weight down but will maintain loft better under mild compression (like a poking elbow or shoulder) better than higher fill downs. i.e. Lower fill downs don't compress as much when packing them.

I have a 30 F. WM Megalite bag with 850 oz./cu. in. down fill. It's good to about 25 F. in my experience, IF I wear light poly long johns and a light stocking cap.
