Sean,  first off reply:  I did not mean to intimate that I did not see 
family on Christmas, I went to visit family last weekend because of work 
schedule conflicts this week. So Christmas Day was alone, but I made the 
best of it.

To the point, the jacket is exactly what I wanted/needed.  The sleeves are 
held well in place under my leather jacket, no bunching and nice warm heat.  
I personally prefer the jacket over the vest for the additional heat in the 
arms since I wear a perf. jacket.  This was a decision I made vs. a vest and 
another "winter" jacket.  Living in Texas I thought my choice the better 
compromise as it keeps me nice and warm down to 40.F  Heck, I don't have any 
desire to ride when it's colder than that, and I still have my rainsuit as a 
last layer if I am caught out for the short term.

I ride with several folks who swear by the Gerbings, or Widder vests.  It's 
more a matter of personal choice.  My perf jacket fits pretty snug in the 
arms but the addition of the liner is not a problem, in compacts quite 
nicely and is amazing at blocking those tiny holes of wind and providing 
excellent warmth.

I will definitely suggest, whichever you get, make sure it fits as snugly as 
possible w/o being restricting.  All heated clothing requires a snug fit to 
work at optimum.
