Have you thought about a lightweight bivy bag Turbo?Short walks with huts around and a good forecast they can save some weight, at least a backup in case you are separated (or just enjoying your peak too much)...

I know you list the primaloft as a midlayer but what's it actually like while walking ? Not to hot and sweaty. My preference is for a thin fleece pullover (Grid or 100wt, around 250g) and a windshirt etc. I've found too many nylon layers of material can make things steamy i.e 2 layers alone on the primaloft hoodie. Gives you more options with layers, or more to the point breathable layers. For wet Tassie weather maybe a thin fleece, windshirt & primaloft hoodie would be enough for everything. I'm liking the primaloft for anything with the chance of a wet peak in windy, cold/wet conditions (Like NZ or Tassie).
Playing with a windvest ATM, has plenty of promise........
