Has anyone picked up one of these? A few puffs and it's inflated. Deflates fast as well. I am comparing these to Big Agnes insulated air core.

I believe the Therm-A-Rest is 2.5" thick while the Air Core is 3.5" thick. I'm looking for a lightweight pad also and I am leaning towards the BA Insulated Q-Core SLX. I compared noise, weight, packable size, thickness, material, valves and customer service experiences. I also compared many pads side-by-side at REI this past week and it solidified my decision. Now I'm just waiting for them to go on sale.

I just got one of the BA Ultra IAC pads that has the different valve to it. It has one valve for inflation and one large one to deflate. I think this will be much better than the twist type valves on the old pads.

probably looking at the big a. insulated air core ultra, my recent positive customer treatment from them has me leaning their way.
