32F bag?

I'm KNOW I'm going to get flamed by a few forum addicts and MH die-hard fans (I'm a MH fan too!!!!), BUT I've got to question whether or not this is really a 32f bag. I recently did two nights out in this bag (before returning it). The first night's low was right at 32f and I wasn't any too warm (and I like to sleep COLD) with a wool beanie, wool socks, and a thermo base on! The second night the temp. dropped to 20f (at it's lowest, and YES, I know I was pushing the bag here!). Geeze, I had everything I brought on..... and was still COLD. The other problem I had with the bag is it's shell material. I noticed that the 15D shell allowed a few feathers through on every use. On the postive side, the bag is incredibly light and well put together. The long, as stated, was exactly 1 lb - 7oz within it's compression sack. But, I decided in the end that a little more weight on my back was better than going through another night like these (above)! Has MH become too obsessed with being the lightest on the market?
