I have both the Subzero SL Jacket and the Subzero SL Parka. Purchased the jacket for Mt. Washington and then later the parka for Rainier and Denali.

Now I have two down coats sitting around!

I plan to hold onto the parka as I will be using it on future trips. Any reason to also keep the jacket around? As far as I can tell, the parka is just a longer version of the jacket (and I like the side pockets much better!).

Not particularly. You're right about that being the difference. The jacket is shorter to allow easy access to backpack hip belts and climbing harnesses. If ice climbing, cold weather camping, and other like activities aren't something you do, there's not really a reason to have both.
