Something wrong now or very right 30 years ago

So my old sleeping bag just came back from One Planet after a rejuvenation.
1150 grams and still conservatively rated at~ -4C for my older metab0lism, take away 5C for every decade after 30YO and I have always slept cold and always needed a bag 5C warmer than any of my mates
I just weighed my brand new versatile winter system with the same temperature rating and it is heavier by 105 grams and a down parka isn't included in that weight.
The difference being that the new winter system incorporates a synthetic layer to help cope with our soggy winters and partly because it's big to cover a LW bag without cramping the down
