20 Deg bag or 40 Deg bag?

I am looking to buy a new sleeping bag. My current one is about 35 years old

. You probably figured I have not done any camping in a while.

I don't want to spend a whole ton of money. I am looking at Campmor at this two bags:

A twenty degree

and a

Forty Degree

The 20 Deg is about 1lb 3 ounces heavier and the stuff size about the same. I will mostly be camping in fairly warm weather but do plan on touring YSP, which I understand even in August can get pretty cold.

Any thoughts on which one I should buy?

I was thinking of maybe going for the light bag and if I need more warmth just buy a liner but on the other hand that is just more junk I need to carry.
