The Argon .67 with side zipper is $90 IIRC. Seems like a smoking deal.
In most circumstances, I wouldn't be considering a cuben bivy. But I've already cut weight everywhere else I can think of - I'm currently experimenting with replacing my NeoAir with the Gossamer Gear 1/8" Thinlight pad or a torso-length Z Lite Sol in the name of saving a few ounces. It looks like the cuben-bottom bivy would save ~1.55 ounces over the silnylon-bottom version.
However, folks appear to be having good results using the silnylon version WITHOUT a groundsheet. The weight savings and convenience of leaving behind the polycryo is probably enough to offset the weight savings of the cuben. I wouldn't expect any cuben to last long between me and the ground without some sort of groundsheet for protection.
Hmm, in that case you might just have to get a bigger one and cut it down. The "small" size is $26 on Amazon right now which is pretty cheap in the grand scheme of outdoor gear.
