    I'd agree that BOTH 10D (or 7D) and 950fp is a schweeet combo if you can swing it.

    And these are pieces of gear that should serve you well for many years with proper care. The added cost for premium materials can be amortized over many, many uses. That's also many years of knowing you bought the best materials available to you at the time, instead of possibly regretting the decision to save some money with the lower fill power and/or heavier fabrics.

    That said, there isn't really a wrong decision because 850FP and 15D fabrics are still quite good, and the quilt will be just as warm regardless of which you choose.

    I redid all of my quilts in late 2019 and went for the 10D fabric with 950, from all HG Econs. The difference there was measurable, mostly due to the lighter fabric than the down fp, though the 950 certainly contributes to the smaller pack size.
    HG Econs are 800 FP, the premiums give you a choice but not the econs
