Nunatak Nebula would be my top choice.
my UGQ Bandit 20 degree with 2oz overstuff rocks. Really want a 0 degree option.
I just added a new top quilt option from Outdoor Vitals, 30°F DWR coated quilt. They make a 15°F as well. I'm hearing good things about them. Hoping this makes the cut because this is my next purchase. Good to hear they're solid company.
I don't know where y'all live but the vast majority of these are useless in the Western US. If your camping in a state that borders the Rockies you're going to want a at least a 20° bag from September to May, and probably still in June. There is regularly snow still on the ground through June in places in Wasatch National Forest. I can only imagine the Cascades are similar. The Colorado Plateau is freezing at night before May. A 15-20° bag will definitely be the most versatile.
I hope this happens on labor day! Fingers crossed.
Will they make different temperature options available? I really just want a 0° one.

I bought the Outdoor Vitals Aerie 30f if so I'll have some experience with it if anyone wants to ask questions.

Yes: good, bad, would you buy it again, what would you change about it?

I like it a lot. It uses very light weight nylon but seems tough enough and does not feel clammy to the touch so it would be comfortable to use as just a plain sleeping bag or quilt. That probably means it is not treated for water but I have yet to test that part. As it is the majority of the weight is just down. This thing puffs up so much from all the down in it that it feels like sleeping in a cloud. I was skeptical of the 30 degree rating when I first pulled it out of the included stuff sack but after I laid it out and let it sit for a few minutes till it fully inflated it became very warm.
The zipper is not the best in the world but not shabby and is pretty light weight. The guard does it's job most of the time and I have only had one snag to deal with and it came undone frailly easy.
I love that it has draw string at both ends of the bag. I was able to cinch it around my shoulders sealing the air inside for those chilly nights when used as just a sleeping bag.
The only glaring omission is that it does not have loops for hanging it up on a hangar. I was trying to figure out a way to use the loops on the zipper side and may end up hanging it opened up on one side but it will still be tricky. With something like this the gets ALL of its warmth from the down you do not want to store it any other way than hanging it up.
I have yet to test it with my hammock yet but it seems pretty strait forward. The suspension is easy and I don't see anything approaching the warmth that this bag offers for the price any where.
As it is with out Massdrop getting involved it is a very compelling option that I highly recommend.
I will include pictures later if you like. Cheers!
