I apologize if this is a repost, i didn't have much luck searching.

Goose down vs. Duck down. These are the two "ducks" in the fight. I assume goose down is better (because it costs much more). But i'm looking for people to give me some first hand experience opinions.

For agruments sake, let's say you are comparing pound to pound at 100% down (yes I realize that some people say this is impossible).

The poorest quality goose down is 550-600 cubic inches/ounce and can go as high as 750-800 for the very best. The highest quality duck down is around 300 cubic inches/ounce.
