PS. Yes, agree, ignore 'extreme ratings', survival is a long way from comfort

Helium is a long-standing model for Marmot, I seem to recall these bags were that price.. in $US, 10yrs ago.
PS. They don't use the lightest zips or shell fabric, other than shedding a few grams in higher FP down, there is the possible weight savings, the design is very minimalist.

In all instances I am not talking about oversized rectangular bags, I am talking about mummy bags only. The big difference in outer circumference and therefore surface area is mainly in the central torso area when discussing Expedition cut bags. These bags are cut with the assumption that you will be wearing at a minimum 25 to 50mm of insulation all over your body but as most bags have excess room in the leg area anyway they only need that extra room in the torso/chest section.
