I'm deciding between the Super Stretch and the Spiral. I know the Spiral is lighter because they can use less material w/ the bias cut. Any other differences?

try the two out nest to each other, I did, I was interested in the spirial to shave some weight, but it is cut tighter, there was not as much room as the super stretch, so unless you like to feel tight in your bag

The super stretch is great for people who move around a lot... I like to sleep on my side and stomach and with one knee up, so I require a lot of room. The super stretch makes it so the bag stretches out, but still hugs your body. Personally, I think you lose a little temperature rating with this feature, but I sleep way more comfortably. The stuff size of the spiral is also a tad smaller, but not by much. It's worth the extra 4 oz of weight, in my opinion. I don't know if price is a difference to you, but the spiral 30 degree is $50 less. Only you can figure out if the weight, the comfort and the price matters. If it were me, I'd still pick the super stretch, mainly because I don't think you can put a price on the comfort this bag provides.
