Good point - to get it warmer (according to official rating) than you need.
Another alternative would be to get a fleece liner (then bag has to be
roomier). Refraining from advocating down VS synthetic (better to have both
kinds), official temperature ratings are approximate and tolerance to
cold is subjective.  Besides, you need it warmer when tired or hungry.
