Help me pick a rain jacket

I have one of the BC200 jackets(2010). It's a size L-reg length. I'm almost 6' and weigh 220 with a 21" torso. It's a tad short. I am very impressed with the shell. I wore it in a 35 degree sustained all day rain on a trip in November on the Ozark Highlands Trail. It worked fantastic. Welded seams and rubberized zipper are sturdy. Oversized helmet hood allows a Grim Reaper look, keeping diagonal rain out of your eyes. Nothing got thru, and it seemed to breath well. Mine weighs 11oz. There is no zip vents, but it seemed to do very well otherwise. The only thing stopping me from giving it a more in depth review is that I haven't seem what it will do for a warm weather storm, when I NEED it to breathe. Hope this helps.

I have a current excel spread sheet of most if not all of the current lightweight offerings in the US. It includes the feature set of each jacket as in pit zips, pockets, and their locations. However it will not format correctly if I cut and paste but if you send me your email via PM I will forward it to you.

Based on Jeff's excellent spreadsheet he sent me I have found some new and interesting choices. I decided I would be willing to sacrifice a bit on weight for a durable jacket with a good feature set. The plus side is that all of these are helmet compatible. The Patagonia is by far the most expensive. I am wondering if it is worth what they want for it? I would love to hear first hand experience with any of these:

Eddie Bauer BC-200 – 10.6 oz. – Weatheredge Pro
Westcomb Specter LT hoodie – 11 oz. – eVent
Patagonia M10 – 11.4 oz. – H2NO
Rab Momentum – 12 oz. – eVent

If you're a medium I have a Montbell Peak in very good condition.

If you're willing to wait, montane new lineups seem pretty light. Montane Spektr (7.4oz) in eVent, or Montane Minimus (7.6oz) in Pertex Shield.

I also have a First Ascent BC-200 jacket and am very pleased with it. I've worn it on several trips where we had extended rain while hiking and it performed well, in my opinion. And I felt no particular need for pit zips, which have always been a pain for me to use anyway.

I'm also liking my BC200. I've only used it in the winter and fall so far, using it for ~200 miles of hiking and a small amount of snowshoeing. I was a little concerned about the lack of pitzips or mesh lined core pockets, but so far so good. Material breathes pretty well in my experience. I like the weight and features for the cost of the jacket enough that I'd consider putting in pit zips rather than find something new if summer comes and I decide I need something with pit zips. I'm guessing I won't end up needing to do that, as I'm hoping to get away with a light windshirt as much has I can this summer.
