Should I buy regular or long Katabatic flex length for 6’ tall?

equipment

I researched the regular length 6’ quilt weighs less and could pair well with a balaclava/down hood. Although I read the long 6’6” offers more space to keep electronics warmer on cold nights and to stomach sleep with feet extended. I’m migrating from a narrow mummy bag so anything will be an improvement! But wanted a peace of mind on such a large investment. TLDR; Anyone 6’0 here, happy with their Flex quilt as regular 6’ dimension, or wish they bought the longer one? I’m planning on the wide overstuff. TIA
