Sleeping bag info ???

“The Mountainsmith "Cypher" bag view at http://shop.store.yahoo.com/fulfillmentadventures/mocy0slbag.html
or does anyone have any experience with Mountain#&%!$h products? Are they any good? Mountainsmith says "Crafted with a unique Dimension Polyant Airnet shell for ultra light performance and filled with 750+ goose down." Is 750 goose down warmer than the Polarguard 3D used in the bags below? I know it's lighter but I'm not too concerned with the weight difference... I just want to be toasty warm.

OR

The North Face "Snowshoe" bag - view at http://www.rei.com/product/47693519.htm or any other good TNF bags recommended. TNF says Polarguard® Delta offers 10% more loft and 12% less weight than Polarguard 3D insulation--so it's warmer, lighter weight and more compressible... any comments. How well does it reatin loft over the years if it's so compressible?

OR

Lastly, how about the Moonstone "3D Maxima". Can be vieded at http://www.backcountrygear.com/catalog/bagdetail.cfm/MOON260 Again, Polarguard 3D insulation.

Thanks in advance for any info
