Too warm...?

My Phantom bag is very warm, light, and compresses impressively. Maybe too warm for summer in Colorado? My only criticism is the lack of a full length zipper. The bag is very warm but on warmer nights my legs and feet start to feel claustrophobic. I really like the feeling of the fabric, construction is first rate, and I am confident that I'd be plenty warm at 32 degrees. I just need a full length zipper, so I kind of wish now that I would have bought a different bag. It is a personal preference and sleeping style issue which I didn't give much thought to. Backcountry.com though was a good place to purchase the bag, I found the reviews on products helpful - but somehow missed on considering the lack of a full length zipper - I got too caught up on the weight issue I guess.
