That will sort out some of the overrating "issues" you may be faced with. I may be an odd duck, here, but I find that if my underside is cool, I can use nearly whatever TQ in warm temperatures and be comfortable. It seems to even out for me. I, too, also don't have much problem venting a tq but know exactly what you mean about the hammock funneling it all back on top of you. Is your TQ a sewn footbox or cinch end? If cinch you can open it up a bit also if it's too warm. Personally, I would rather carry a few extra ounces and maybe sleep a little bit warm than not have enough insulation. I've been there and hypothermia sucks. It's much easier to vent over warm quilts than it is to wish a too cool set to keep you warm.
