If your funding your trip by selling used cars then the Burton one.

The Bogner one comes in red, and is therefore the best one.

If you've got that sort of money to throw around, you should look at Arcteryx or Patagonia or Norrona, all of whom have a well deserved reputation for making very practical kit that generally looks good.

If you run hot even in chilly temps you might be better with more layers and a shell rather than an insulated jacket

billybilo,
If it's a Russian Mafia goes skiing look that you're after, either would be perfect.
If you're looking for top end technical wear, take a look at Sierradh's brand suggestions.

Personally I would go for something differant altogether, your looking more for snow proof than waterproof so I would go for a shell jacket AND a puffy or down jacket that I could add or subtract as per weather. The Bognor jacket looks very fitted so awkward to layer and the other is just horrid IMHO.
BTW I too run hot, January in Banff is wicked cold! Having said that I had a cheap aldi shell, puffy jacket, micro fleece and aldi base-layers and was fine apart from when we got stuck on a very windy chair at sunshine for twenty minutes, no frostbite or hypothermia but needed a hot choc and boots off, toes in front of fire break for another twenty minutes or so.
Glove liners are a must, plus vaseline for lips/nose. It was hovering around -35c the entire fortnight we were there. It wasn't so much an issue on the mountain as walking around the town at night that we felt cold. On the three days the temp crept up I was happy to be able to shed the puffy.
