the Q is when you add an ounce of down to a tq how much wormth will that oz add.
For ex. i orderd an 20* TQ and had 1oz overstuff to it so what would the new rating be if it changes

It's not the fall im scared of, it's the sudden stop at the end!!!

Well it depends on the dimensions of the quilt, but I'd guess 2°-3° maybe up to 5° increase in performance per ounce added.

I would say the above is fair. The easiest way would be to take a look at the amount of down in a 20 degree and that of the 0 degree and work out the differences per ounce.

I would say that is a fair estimate. It won't be exact, as usually the baffle height is different in a 20° as compared to a 0° quilt. My quilts have 2oz overfill and I guesstimate about and additional 10°, so my 20° quilt with 2oz overfill is roughly a 10° or so quilt. YMMV.
Why don't they just say a 10* quilt when they add 2 oz. more down, instead of a 20* with 2 oz. of overstuff???

Doesn't it also have to do with the baffle height in combination with the down loft? If your baffles only allow so much loft, there's comes a point where the over stuff on down is useless, right?
Just asking.
