This 'fill power' seems pretty arbitrary. Is 550 an acceptable amount for a down comforter for ~$100?

Gosh I'd kill for one of those about now. It's so cold in here you can see your breath downstairs.

My sleeping bag is 770 fill down; that's all I really know about down, though. Dunno how that translates since you are indoors, not outdoors. :)

Down comforter is much more comfortable than an electirc blanket imo.

To answer Elemental007, i'm not too sure if that's good or not. I generally go by the weight of it myself.
