Is 3.2 R value enough for late Sept archery?

I’m looking to pickup another sleeping pad, and see that Sea to Summit have some good deals on the Ether Light XT insulated pads. The pads are rated at 3.2 R value and I’m a little concerned this might not be enough. I’m an average sleeper (not to hot or cold) and have a 15degree WM AlpinLite bag as my primary.
My current pad is a Exped Ultra7r (which I do like)
Thoughts?

I would not skimp on the R value. I’d gladly trade a little weight for a better R value. Consecutive nights of being cold can ruin a trip fast.

Thanks for the feedback. I figured as such in terms of R value. The Ether Light XT Extreme is a pretty good price on Amazon, but I’ve read it’s super bulky…

In my experience 3.2 is not enough that time of year. I’ve made that mistake and been cold and it sucks.
