Glad I could help.

You might also be interested in the Air Beam suspension that replaces the standard framesheet. It knocks four ounces off the weight of the pack, and (since it's inflatable) lets you use the pack under your lower legs as a sleeping pad extender - letting you use a 48" pad instead of a 72, which could save another 3-6 ounces. Of course, it works best with 1" pads (no NeoAir or cushy pad here), and it has a very low r-value, but it works. Having said that, I got one and tried it, but doubt that I'll keep it. It works OK, but you do have to add air every couple of days to keep it stiff, and if it would ever puncture... in short, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.

However, if you get the Crown VC in a size Long, and want to play around with an AirBeam, let me know and I'll send it to you. Might even toss in the 1" thick Prolite mattress I got to go with it...
