I have the same problem with warmers, so I tend to reserve them for just-barely-too-cool-to-ride-in-shorts weather. (It's usually warmer for the afternoon commute, and the warmers pack up smaller than tights.)
I wear tights when it's cooler. I can go colder (three, no, four tight weights in my wardrobe now). Also, since they're worn over shorts, I'm not as concerned about daily washing; I can go 2-3 days before washing tights, so I only need a couple pairs (per temperature range!) to get me through a week's commutes.
