wm always meets or exceeds people's expectations of warmth.
Since you want a 20 degree bag/quilt, I'd take care of that first, and get something great. Nunatak, Katabatic, Western Mountaineering will use a good chunk of your budget but are worth it.
the feathered friends or western mountaineering options are top notch.
Western Mountaineering is one company that comes to mind that makes high-end, performance sleeping bags and also includes some more generously cut styles (semi-rectangular) among its offerings.
If I was going to spend that much on a quilt I would get one from a down specialist company like Feathered Friends or Western Mountaineering.

European brands I like: ... Fjallraven (outdoor) / sweden
I find Fjallraven to be quite durable
For that cold I would opt for something more specialized such as North face, Patagonia, Marmot, Arc'teryx, Columbia, Fjallraven, etc.
Fjallraven makes great jackets/parkas that last.
Additionally, it turns out high-end nylon hiking pants (Patagonia, Columbia, Fjallraven, etc) are 100x more durable than any natural material of the same weight, and often more durable than low-end canvas.
