Looking for Sleeping Bag Recommendations

I am seeking recommendations for a sleeping bag with a 15 - 20 degree Fahrenheit rating. This will be used when backpacking, so it needs to be light. I am open to down or synthetic insulation.

I currently own a USGI MSS (way to heavy to backpacking), a British jungle bag (not warm enough), and a HPG Mountain Serape (which is awesome, but not warm enough for what I need).

A few relevant things about me:

* I'm about 5'6" with a spare tire.
* I sleep on my side, and tend to switch sides during the night.
* I wouldn't say that I sleep especially hot or cold.

Aside from the temp rating, I'm looking for a good quality bag that has a water resistant shell. I do have a SOL Breathable Escape Bivy that I could use with the new bag, and I'm willing to mod the bivy to make it wider so as to fit over the new bag (I may do this anyway).

Also, I'd prefer a subdued color.

Ideally, budget for the new bag would be $300 or less, but if there's a bag up to $500 I'm willing to look at it, if it offers substantially more than the lower cost bags.

Thanks in advance.
