I'm on my way to being a two-quilt set guy, and really don't want to be a three-quilt set guy lol, so want to make the right choice. Realistically the 40/40 is what I will use most of the time, with the 20/20 or 20/0 being avail for rarer cold weather use.
My EE 20* is a 950 fill, although I'm not a fill snob, just happened to get it on sale. If I go with a 0* UQ I would likely also go with 950 just for the added compressibility... with a 20 I supposed I could just go with 850 same as my 40/40 set. I do prefer Goose Down, which in EE means 950 only, while UGQ has GD available in 850 and 950.
I guess I need to do some more research on treated downs... for some reason I thought manf's were moving away from it (UGQ, EE, WM, FF) but I do see some are still using it like JRB, Katabatic and Cedar Ridge.
