I have a te-wa 3-season and love it. It helped me down to 13 degrees, packs around the size of a nalgene bottle and is very well made.

I posted a matrix of all the UQ's I could find for under $200

going back to the "cheap & light"... is DIY out of the question?

I am looking at a diy IX underquilt. I don't really care if it is lightweight I just want it to be extremely compact. I want to have an Adventure Racing type backpack and everything needs to fit inside. Gunner thanks for the Matrix I just wish they had pack sizes listed.
Does Leigh have a website and if so does anyone have a link.

I have and IX underquilt and although it's very easy to make, very easy to attach to my hammock, very easy to keep dry, fairly lightweight.... it is not compackable!!! So if that's highly important to you, I wouldn't recomend the IX.
I've tried climashield and down quilts, the most compactable are the down ones. They are also the most expensive ones. If compactability is your highest requirement, you'd probably be happier and better off to get down. (this, of course, is just my opinion and worth just about 2 cents):)
