I might have something suitable if you don't mind secondhand ?

I'm imagining a Narnia style wardrobe at BB Towers that if you open it you could become trapped under a Tsunami of outdoor kit.

You may not realise how close that is to the truth ... there is actually a wardrobe just for sleeping bags.

If Stuart doesn't sort you out with something and you aren't too price sensitive check out phd's sale, still expensive but you won't find warmer for the weight. I love my minim 300, 0 degrees 570g :D

+1 for PHD bags especially in the sale. They are doing Mimim 250 and 350 is the sale. Drishell option a good idea too.
My tip is to be be realistic about the minimum temp you are going to use it in. i started with a -5°rated bag which i though would do everything i wanted. Trouble is i found it too hot from late spring until early autumn and i ended up buying a +5°C rated bag for those times.
So given that you are going to use a liner which will add warmth then maybe the Minim 250 would be the one.
For me i find PHD's temperature ratings spot on. My better half has a Cumulus Ultralite 350 bag. It's good but not in the PHD class ( it is cheaper in fairness ) and i found the -3°C rating a bit optimistic and would rate it more like 0°C for me
Hope this helps
