Jim,

I sincerely doubt it. I would need a much heavier/thicker expensive pad to compensate for comfort loss and subsequent loss of sleep due to the lack of the hammock, the weight offset remains...

An underquilt is not the same thing at all as the bottom of a sleeping bag - it's about 1000% more comfortable than a pad/sleeping bag combo could be for me. Get me something that makes sleeping on the ground AS comfortable and warm as the underquilt, and we will be talking apples and apples.
