Thom, it definitely takes more space because it's a synthetic and it is not a good idea to compress it to the absolute max. (Or even close!)
How much more space? Hmm... if I had to guess... at that rating, in normal usage, I'd estimate very conservatively 4x as much. But 4 softballs aren't a very large volume so it's still quite manageable.
I have the Rev apex 40 (from back when they still called it the Prodigy) and it has turned out to be my most-used quilt and it is holding up very nicely, primarily, I think, because it has never been "super-stuffed" to get it as small as it possibly could be. However I have not babied it... I put it in the bottom of the backpack with no stuff sack and let the items above determine how much compression it is subjected to.

A. We need more input on where and when you plan to use the Bivi-Liner.
B. Have you tested the EE 30 degree quilt in the real world at 30 degrees? 25 degrees? 20 degrees? What month will you be hiking the Colorado trail?
Good luck!
