I've been looking around and this Amazon.com vendor seems to be the current best price. In case anyone else is looking...

I wouldn't recommend getting this bag, unless you already carry tons of other insulation to help make up the warmth that this bag won't provide. Just want to give a warning because I owned this as my first bag and it couldn't really make it lower than 40. I'm a cold sleeper, which probably has a bit to do with it (~5 deg). Maybe if you are a hot sleeper it would be ok in early spring, otherwise its a good mid-season bag only, but not for winter, and def not for the teens in the Smokies!! cheers

Ive had my light year 25 out all this winter and couldnt be happier with it. When it was below 35 I usually start to layer up or use a silk liner. Been nice and toasty in my hammock @ 25* with my bag and liner (+ underpad on hammock...)

That bag was on sale at Steep and Cheap last fall for $69. I bought 2 of them. I returned them both. Spent $18 on shipping. Lesson learned. Know what you buy before you buy it at SAC.
I returned them for a couple of reasons. I compared the loft of this bag to my WM 20 degree bag and it was not even close. I don't believe the 25 degree rating. Secondly, the zipper only goes to your hip. I decided that would not only drive my boys crazy, but would make it too warm in the summer.

I've got one and don't have any problem with it. I spent a 30* night in Woods Hole shelter and woke up at 2:00am absolutely covered in sweat. To each his/her own...
same thing happened with me.
