So I was just looking and the Alpkit says its for those under 6'1. The Skyhigh comes in the longer lengths, but weights twice as much...
What do you go for if you are taller?

If you can live with the bottomless design/have a well insulating mat then the Thermarest Haven 20 is available in large (as opposed to 6ft being "regular") iirc. Weighs 600 and a bit gms and packs down well. Used mine on el-an back this weekend. :)

Do you like a bit of space, or are you happy with a snug fit? I'm 6'2", 13 stone, and am very happy with my pipedream 400.

In fairness, I'm 5ft10 or 11 and have one of the fairly original pipedream 400s (back when they were made of pertex) and I can positively snuggle right inside it, I'd imagine a few inches taller would still be comfy.
