Well, the ProLite is self-inflating which some of us wimpy types feel is
much more comfortable than a solid-foam pad like the RidgeRest, and it's
rolled size is actually over 6 times smaller, not 4 times (100 cubic
inches vs 663 cubic inches).  That makes a big difference when you have
a small pack.

But I agree that from the most-bang-for-your-buck perspective, the
RidgeRest is hard to beat.
