Compared to the Marmot 8000M Down pants, which one is warmer? Would one ever need to put either insulating layers under a hard shell if the both use a waterproof laminate?

They are probably about the same warmth, both being 800 fill down. Both pants are made for serious cold so it would have to be extremely cold to need a lot of layering. Also if it is that cold you won't have to worry too much about water getting in, but they do both use laminates so you should be good without a hardshell.
