It looks like I might be moving to northern Sweden, where it gets mighty cold. I'm thinking a down jacket might be a good idea, and this is looking like one of the front runners. I'm wondering though if the Nitrous jacket and maybe a Sub Zero vest might be sufficient though? I'm trying to get maximum warmth and versatility for potentially super cold conditions, and I'm wondering if this jacket is the best bet.
Also, would a medium be right for 5'10", 160lbs? ;-)

In the last two winters I've worn my Sub Zero SL jacket down to -35°C, and just needed a longsleeve cotton t-shirt under it to be alright. You'll be surprised how good this jacket really is. I've done everything with it and it keeps impressing me.

I used this for standing and walking to class when the temps were below 20F. At night when coming home from the bars or a friends house you will want this saved my butt(my MontBell Alpine Light took a backseat in the closet). Full hood, overstuffed with down, and ample pockets, you are going to want this over the thinner Nitrous if the temps go anywhere near zero

The Nitrious jackets/vests are great if you're moving. So if you go for a nice cross country ski with the Swedish Olympic team, you'll be fine. However, if you're standing around waiting for a bus, or your car to warm up, the Nitrious won't be warm enough. Go for the Sub Zero SL and you'll thank yourself later. Also, say hi to the Swedish bikini models for me.
