    I'm sure I do not know them all, but you can get duck down quilts from
    Hammock Gear
    Loco Libre Gear
    Little Shop of Hammocks
    UGQ Outdoors

    There are probably more...

    The Enlightened Equipment quilts in 850 are duck, the 950 are goose.

    Loco Libre has a duck down option as well I believe.

    There is no difference in the insulating power between duck and goose and or color as long as you are comparing 850 fill to 850 fill ect.

    From Wikipdia

    The rare and relatively expensive down of certain wild waterfowl species such as the Muscovy duck or Common eider can have higher fill powers than goose down. For down sleeping bags a lofting power of 600-650 is considered good quality, 700 - 750 is considered very good, and 800 - 950+ is considered excellent

    Yeah, whether it is duck or goose down has no influence on the functionality. The fill power is what matters.

    With fillpower being equal - is there any strong reason to go with Goose over Duck or vice versa?

    Depends on how much you hate having money in your wallet.
