Is anyone able to compare this jacket in terms of the material stiffness and or general warmth and performance against the MH Alchemy?

I have an MH Alchemy and love it. The fit and finish are superb. I am 5'9", 160lbs and wear a large since the Alchemy seems to be a true performance fit. The shell is pretty tough, but not too stiff, and I use it for mountain biking with just a baselayer down to 20F or so. I also purchased a McKinley large, but returned it as it was too similar to the Alchemy. The McKinley material was slightly stiffer, the lining about the same, but the fit was a little looser. However, if I didn't already own the Alchemy, I would probably have been pretty happy with the McKinley.
