Squamish on sale for $100 stacking discounts at local store, and I'm tempted to give it a go over the Houdini. Better hood and zipper for one more ounce. Fabric seems potentially tougher. Anyone ditch a Houdini for this?

Prolite Gear made a video about the Squamish, with a good comparison of breathability and the pros/cons of the Squamish.
I really like my Squamish. It runs about 2oz heavier then my prior jacket, a Feathered Friends Jackorat. Mine is 6oz in Men's XL. It provides more versatility then my old jacket, including more warmth and better light rain protection for the 2 extra ounces. I really like the hood a lot. Still, I expect to pick up a feather weight wind shirt soon, like the Zpacks one, for summer hiking and shift my Squamish to shoulder season duty and use as my outer shell for snow shoeing.
I the Squamish. Of course I like my old Houdini more. I have no interest in trying the new Houdini.
Beware that the Squamish is cut a lot different than the Houdini. I wear a medium Houdini. I wear a small Squamish and it's still baggy around the stomach.
