Second thoughts tho would you be prepared to layer quilts?
Adding an UL synthetic quilt over the down one provides extra warmth and protection from condensation etc and for a lower cost than a new -6C down quilt
Also note that when it gets cold you will need a much warmer mat so if the one you own now is comfortable think about adding a CCF pad as well
