Where do you guys come up with all these numbers? I guess my music background doesn't lend toward thinking in numbers and logic. I'm one of those artsy types.

Ok, here is the reworked numbers
for 2" loft with 15% overstuff
Footbox width 40" savings 1.134oz
Footbox width 36" savings 2.02oz
Footbox width 30" savings 3.05oz
Footbox width 26" savings 3.11oz
for 3" loft with 15% overstuff
Footbox width 40" savings 1.78oz
Footbox width 36" savings 2.69oz
Footbox width 30" savings 4.04oz
Footbox width 26" savings 4.92oz
Below is the math for the 40" footbox saving over the 48". Given as a rectangle since I am removing 2 triangles.
shell weight saving per side= [(8in/1)(1yd/36in)*(36in/1)(1yd/36in)]*(1.05 oz/sq yd)=.23oz *(2 to account for each side)=.46
fill weight saving= {[(2 in loft)*(8 in)*(36 in)]/(750 fill per oz)}* (1.15 to accound for overstuff)= .88 oz
total saving for a 40" taper = 1.34oz
Still a weight saving and something to consider.

I was only tapering for the last 24", so it would not be much of a savings for me. I made a synthetic one that was tapered and did not like it. It limited the usage.
