I asked the same question recently
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...r-55-quot-wide
I decided the 5" extra just got in the way for me and will be getting 50" quilts from now on
that was a super helpful thread, thanks. think i’m gonna just go with the standard. also i think you replied in previous thread about temp, i think what i’m gonna do is just go with a 40 since i’ll mostly be camping in the summer, and come fall or winter get a warmer one when i have more money. do u think 40 is good even if it gets into the 60s at night?

I havent taken my 40 that high yet, as I just got it a couple weeks ago. But most companies dont make a 60, only a 50 and 40*, so 40 is only 1 notch below the warmest quilts available, just to put it in perspective. Plus (to me) there is nothing worse than being cold, so I'll take slightly too hot over slightly too cold. One more thing, 50* is typically sewn through while 40* is box baffle. A box baffle will be much warmer feeling than a sewn through as it has no cold spots and drafts at the seams, so would generally recommend box baffle over sewn through as its low end can be extended much more effectively than a sewn through.
Another cheapo solution for real hot weather camping would be the 2x Costco quilts for $50. Those can be turned into a top quilt with footbox with no dewing and a couple hours of work, if you find the 40* too warm at 60. Unfolded you can lay it over your other TQ and extend the temp range too. I see they're not on costco.com right now, but likely will be again come Fall time, or put a WTB on the forums here. A lot of members have them and they come in 2 packs, so might be some extras laying around in closets.
thanks a ton man that all helps a lot

If you vent it at both ends and go with some super-light clothing then you could probably take a 20º to 60º without any issues. 40º should be ideal and give you a decent safety buffer in case you end up with a cold campsite. I landed in a cold sink one night that was more than 20 degrees colder than the surrounding area.
