to use your incriments:
60+..... for me, Nest and No Sniveller
30-60... for me, Nest and No Sniveller ....add Weather shield if lower end is at risk.
below 30...for me, Nest and No sniveller on bottom and Old Rag Mtn on top.... add Weather Shield if expecting single digits.
Note 1, I think that I sleep neutral to warm.
Note 2, We think the Weather Shield is a good 60 degree solution that is more minimalist or UL...but at 50 without a quilt I'm improvising some thing...hence against your scale I like the Nest cause I'm a prepared for another unexpected 10 degree drop.
Note 3, Except for a specific light and fast summer weekend where the Weather Shield can stand alone I prefer to think of the WS as a range extender. The Weather Shield bottom is a low cost waterproof, windproof and breathable entry into the world of under quilts and it readily enables the addition of light insulations. read: a pad, poncho liner, or packed items such as rain gear, sit pad, etc.
