Sleeping bag for warm weather

I am looking for a warm weather sleeping bag. I am 6ft 2 and 200lbs. I am not super picky about weight, but I would like to be able to carry it on the bike, obviously.

There's tons of sleeping bags out there, what temp range is warm for you, do you have a price range, down or synthetic? mummy or rectangle?

I grabbed an REI branded mummy down a cpl years ago, one of the cheaper ones but can't recall temp rating, maybe 50 deg? I'm 6'2" and 225, fits me fine. Probably grabbed the tall/log version if there was one. Packs very small, I think I'm able to get my pad, bag, and ground sheet all stuffed into the pad bag. I run pretty warm usually so was afraid I'd get too hot but have slept fine in 60 deg. Any hotter than that and I don't need anything more than a sheet. I've also been fine in it down to 20 without needing many layers. If I put on all layers I bet it'd be good for me to 0.

I also have an REI down mummy I got at a scratch and dent sale. It's warm to 45 and packs very small (Nalgene bottle size). I'm 6'1" and shy of 200. It's pretty boxy and I believe a Long. It's been a good bag overall.
I also have a SOL Escape Bivvy which weighs virtually nothing and packs to about a quarter the size of the REI bag. It's good to 52 but also adds about 10 degrees to an existing bag. I used the two together last weekend where it got down to the mid to high 30s. I was very comfy. I would even use the SOL Bivvy on its own if I knew it was going to be 50 or warmer at night.

I'm a huge fan of the Sea to Summit Spark SpI. I review gear professionally, and this is one of my favorite items.
Here's my latest review of this bag. I really love it.
