So, I've been trying to decide between a few options for a down parka/jacket and discovered it's rather difficult to track down the down fill weights.
After finally getting them, I thought I'd post them for easier comparison by others.
product (sz. L) weight (oz.) fill weight (oz.)
MHW A0 45 20.9
Marmot 8000m 40 19.17
EB peak XV 34.6 13.6
Marmot greenland 31 10.5
From EB customer service on fill weights for the peak XV jacket
S M L XL XXL
FILL WEIGHT (OZ) 12.08 12.76 13.6 14.5 15.31
MHW A0 (source: other commenters)
Marmot 8000m (source: other commenters)
EB peak XV (source: EB rep)
marmot grnlnd (source: backcountry rep)
Enjoy.

Good point on the 850 vs. 800 fill power. A rough, first-order, conversion between the two is possible, assuming full loft, etc., by simply multiplying the weight of 850 fill-power down by 1.0625 to arrive at an 'equivalent' weight of 800 fill-power. (850/800=1.0625). Thus, the 13.6 oz of 850 down in the EB is 'equivalent' to about 14.5 oz of 800 fill-power down. Also, I got some info on the new Mountain Hardwear Nilas Jacket (850 fill-power): weight fill weight 22.25oz 7.6 oz (~8.1oz 800 fill-power equivalent) 631g 215g

Yes very helpful. Although I own the Peak XV and feel it is worth pointing out the fill power is 850 and not 800 as with the others (true of both the 2010 and 2011 versions).
