Yellow Star: I own Red Star: Decisions are hard

Looking to put together a pretty good/ universal list of UL gear to upgrade to. I want to be smart about cost, but don't mind spending a little to get a quality piece I will use for years to come. The big things I'm missing are a sleeping bag/quilt and all the clothing. The other items I am fairly set on, but open to feedback and alternatives. I'd love base weight to be under 13lbs, but I'm also aware I have 3lbs of camera crap and electronics so its unlikely. Nonetheless, balancing weight and confirt would be nice.

I plan on using this gear for a lot of international backpacking, mostly solo 2-4 day trips in between being in towns/cities. Although I would also like to be able to use some of the gear for potentialy longer trips (up to 7+ days). Weather wise, nothing below 15F and I generaly run hot. More details for the couple things I'm unsure about below.

Quilt/Bag: So many damn options, and these fuckers arent cheap. I don't mind the cold or layering, so how low can I really take a 30 degree bag/ quilt? I don't plan on doing much winter/ extreme cold, I'd predict lowest would be 15 degrees. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Estimated 600g for quilt, although it will probably be less.

Clothing: I know its dependednt on the specific trip, so I'm leaving this kinda empty and will be figuring this out later. I have a bunch, but want to upgrade some, so suggeestions welcome. I am estimating 1.5kg (3.3lbs) total for cloths, half worn, half in the pack.
