I went with the tarp tent notch and an enormous 1.95 pound 15-20 degree quilt to accommodate my size. Unfortunately I just discovered that my exos ripped pretty badly but am not worried about finding a way to return it to osprey/Amazon. I'll either have to get another exos or look into more durable designs. I'm also considering the ula circuit and one of those hyper lite 3400 packs but am not familiar with either.
