What are the main differences between the Crossbow, Stingray, and Sabre? What would justify the price difference?

So between these three jackets which would you choose and why? I'm planning on wearing it for everyday winter use from skiing to snowblowing to going to the mall.

Crossbow and stingray have similar designs. The crossbow has a 1 piece hood (which works better over hooded midlayers) has a slightly more roomy cut and comes with 1 extra internal pocket. The main body on the crossbow uses a heavier fabric as well (and in turn uses thicker seam tape)The Sabre is roomy like the crossbow, is made of the same material as the stingray. It has the largest volume outer pockets (has only 1 internal pocket). Its the best value of the 3 you have listed (arcteryx realized this and has increased the price the the sabre by $50 for next season :-(
