I'd go for the UL inner jacket model myself.  Besides being cheaper, it is just a bit more resilient at the cost of an ounce or two.  

I more or less agree with the other poster on temperature range.  By itself over a lightweight baselayer it's probably good to around 40-45F, adding a shell adds another 10-15F to that.  I have the parka version and love it.

BTW, it runs kind of tight.  If you're not built on the thin/light frame side you'll likely be better off going up one size vs. what you might wear in a marmot, north face, mountain hardwear, etc.
