ISO: gloves that don't suck

When it's not warm enough for half-finger gloves I can get by with almost any of my long-fingered MTB gloves. But when it's below, say, 45f, I need something warmer. I've tried the following with mixed results:
  • Pearl Izumi Gavia (now called something else, I believe) -- Not all that warm, but decent if it's windy or damp
  • Pearl Izumi Cyclone -- About the same as the Gavia warmth-wise, but the gel padding was terrible
  • Pearl Izumi Amfib -- Very warm, but too warm if it's over 35f or so
I'm looking for something that's warm, not too bulky, and that doesn't have any gel padding in the palm. The new PI PRO Softshell Lite looks promising, but I'm a little gun-shy based on my past experiences. The reviews for the 661 Transition are positive, but I'm wondering if it's warm enough for 35-45f temps.

Suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.
