If you do 3 season backpacking and want to save on the weight go with a quilt, i know of a few guys i hunt with that run them during our November hunts as well.
x2 on the stuff sack expecially if your going with a down bag as most are waterproof and keep your bag dry incase a bladder or something goes bad in your pack.
I cant underestimate the value of a good ground mat, exped or neoair... without them you can have a great bag but loose all the heat under you and you'll be wondering why your cold in a couple hundred dollar bag.
