    I bought an Express400(XL) and took it back without even sleeping in it once. Layed it out on the bed and it took an age to loft up and when it did the baffels looked 1/2 full, i.e. I could see through them in places. Im not design expert but that made me feel cold just looking at it. Also the really tight bag is great for space and weight savings but I'm a wriggler. My cold bag is a mummy type and its warm to sleep in but I seldom get a goods nights sleep in it as I feel like a sardine. I ended up with the latitude 500XP(XL). Cost me about 400g more in weight but I got that spare round my guts to loose anyway. Pack down size was also larger but not enough to really bother me. Learn to pack less (its hard, I know). You'll go further and most likely find a use for that extra space in the pack with stuff like back legs and fillets.
