Fuurrreal? :-( Can you take actual measurements of each inflated and let us know what the width and length is? Thanks.

sure mike, you want me to measure to the "useable edge" or all the way to the seam?
i will say, there is no way my arms fit on this pad at my sides and i use it up top to bottom. I'm 6' 185 w/33" waist.
mike i don't have any issues with the q core sl, i just sold my exped long/wide. the exped is great if you want the extra width on a long model, but even then it was hard to keep my arms by my side....they'd eventually slide off so i never slept on my back or if i did i would have my arms across my chest. the q core sl is advertised at 20 inches wide, mine came in at 19 inches wide unless you count the half inch seam on each side, but even with an additional 1 inch, your arms would never fit at your side, nor did they really with the wide exped as i said.
FTF - i have no idea what is going on with the length of that thing, did they send you the right model? im 6'1 and i fit comfortably on mine, ill have to pull it out again soon and check the length
and mike for what it's worth, i agree with slim in that the q core sl "appears" as though it would be more durable than the exped, although that's only speculation of course. i enjoyed being able to use my BA pro deal, in fact I am the reason they got put on there as i contacted them about them not being available and inquired about if/when they would be
And good on you for getting BA aboard pro deals! I think you should contact NeoAir and get them on board as well!

i rolled back and forth between the two and cant tell any difference other than the size, just as comfortable so in the end im still pretty happy with it.
i should also mention the packed size is a fair bit smaller if thats a concern for anyone
Don't get me wrong. The SL is my favorite pad to date. If only it was the listed weight and width, it would be perfect.
as for the mummy, i tried it at rei and i might as well have gone with the short. unless i ducttaped my ankles together my feet and lower legs never would have stayed on that
