I am looking for a rain jacket for backpacking. Is the rain shadow worth the money over the north faces venture jacket?

They are going to be a very similar product. Nearly the exact same weight, but the Rain Shadow has a roll-down hood while the Venture's is fixed. The Venture is very packable, but so is the Rain Shadow. I personally would get the Rain Shadow. It has a waterproof laminate, while the Venture has a waterproof coating.
