The Fox R-Series system is very roomy in the bag.

Why dont you just buy the non sleep system from solar??
I have solar SS and the non SS SP c tech beds - use the non ss during summer with an old cotswold aquarius throw and the sleep system thrrough the colder months
Also you could just unzip the ss from the bed you have now and use whatever bag / blanket you wanted?????

I assume the Duralite you had was the older model? I think the new ones are a bit bigger, pretty much the same size as the standard mk1 solar, which is perfect size wise for me.
I actually thought the fox flatlined x felt better quality than the solar one if I'm honest
@vossy, doesn't seem a big difference, but that extra 9cm and the extra height means it won't go back as far in the tempest 100, and was a really tight squeeze in the 100 brolly

I have had 14 bedchairs in the past 5 years.

I used the Duralite for 2 years with pleasure, but it is indeed true that the sleeping bags, no matter how good they are, I had the 1/3 season and cover that the are limited in terms of inner size; for me it was still manageable 173cm, 76kg.
Since last year I have had the Flatliner, not the new model but the previous model with 6 legs (CBC094).
Simply top-notch, though quite a bit heavier (14.75kg) than the Duralite, but it lies so well. Although the Duralite lay well too for me, the Flatliner is definitely a serious step up.
I have had 14 bedchairs in the past 5 years. Regarding Solar, I have had all the Sp C-tech models except the one with Memory foam (new models) I cannot lie on Memory foam mattresses for 15 minutes (Flatliner/Duralite uses High Density foam). In terms of build quality, the Solars are better than the Duralite, but I cannot say that my Flatliner is of inferior quality compared to the Solar Sp C-tech. bedchairs
The Flatliner sleeping bags are the same as the Duralite ones (also 1/3/5 season) but larger; these are really top-notch sleeping bags
Edit: The 5-season sleeping bag is ridiculously warm, even for winter. With the 3-season and a cover, you're better off imo.

Don't you start  
EDIT, @ Heff, I thought they were similar sizes?
EDIT 2 FL 9cm longer 4cm wider, 2cm taller.
Just in case anyone new is reading this, a short while ago I picked up a Camo Flatliner System from TFT's Ebay page for £370 which I thought was a great deal. I don't buy new bedchairs very often, last time was 10 years ago (unlike some :-P) so recently I've been advocating this purchase...to my cost

Cheers mate. Had the flat liner x for a while, was too long and high, took up so much room in the bivvy, and I didn't find it much more comfortable than the solar, hence going back to it

Not what your asking but if weights not a issue possibly consider the flatliner system from TFT, they can be had for good prices 
Edit, it's 20.4kg full 5 system
Ps, your link below, highlight it left to right then click the 2 arrows right hand side of Web link button just above emojis 👍
