I thought that the Nuptse & The Elysium was rated at the same 700? The review below said that the Nupste was warmer? Also the Elysium is part of the sumit series so I thought it was better, warmer & lighter than Nuptse? Can someone please tell me the differences between the 2?

700 is the fill-power, or "quality" of the down, not the quantity. A higher fill number means each ounce of fill has more insulating power. The difference here is that the Nuptse just has more total fill. That makes the Nuptse "puffier" and warmer.
