Z packs double quilt vs two sleeping bags zipped together

Hi all,
We currently use two down sleeping bags zipped together (1.3kg each, -6 rating) and we're looking into the z-packs double quilt (probably -12c, approx 850g) as would save a good deal of weight but we haven't had any experience of using down quilts instead of bags. I know a few of you use z-packs sleeping systems - any thoughts?
Thanks
Vicky & Toby

Might also be seriously worth (money permitting) having a look at

Enlightened Equipment Accomplice Ultralight

But...their lead time is slow, so I suspect you may struggle getting one before the TGOC unless you can hassle them.

These also appear to be warmer than the equivalent ZPacks items

I've emailed you as well.

I think your PC clock's wrong Andy.

You're coming up as half an hour a head of time too John! Something funny going on - may be we've entered a parallel universe.

Thanks Andy - will look at that.

Being a cold sleeper, I invested in an Enlightened Equipment Enigma rated to -17C and it's brilliant and very well made. Can't wait for winter to come round again! In a moment of madness, I also ordered a summer weight Enigma rated to +10C. I can't see me buying another sleeping bag. Weight and prices very good compared to equivalent sleeping bags.

I have the Enlightened Revelation Quilt.
Rated -12. I sleep hot, but it is WARM!
