what do you mean by a tad more extreme then you need? If you mean by temp then it's always better to get the ones with a lower comfort temp then the temperature you expecting, it's always better to be hot then freezing. From my previous experience that is

It sure is. But the firewalker 1 and the SH600 is nearly the same sleeping bag stat vise isn't it?
But the Firewalker is around 40 £ cheaper. Due I have to ship the SH600 to denmark.

Since you recommend the SH600.

The Firewalker 1 has nearly same stats, but I spare nearly 40 £. Is the extra 2 degree that worth?

I think you might be getting a wee bit confused by the way Mountain Equipment list the temperature rating. The lower figure on their "sleep zone" of -3c is NOT the comfort rating. The bag actually has a comfort rating of +10c, according to this site:

So, the difference between that and the Alpkit bag is more like 15 degrees than 2!

PS: Go for the Alpkit!

I can see that most people advise alpkit. But my problem is that I have to spent like 30 £ to get the sleeping bag to Denmark. I have to find a store which is cheaper or something.

30£? Delivery to Sweden was 15£ (for a LOT of gear) last week and delivery to Belgium was 8£ last year, so to Denmark it should be something in between unless they raised their shipping cost?
Might still be too much to your likings though...
