Rapha or Rapha?

So This is a bit early for me to be posting questions about what i want for xmas, but the new Rapha Fall line came out today and I got super excited. My mom always gets me one really big gift (I'm way too old to be getting this much spent on me, but lets face it, I cant afford to spend this much unless I save up, while she can so I'll take it lol).

I just bought a rapha pro team jacket for the colder riding which I'm super excited to use this winter. I was thinking about asking for the matching pro team insulated bib shorts for Xmas. (I would rather have insulated bib shorts over knickers and use leg warmers) The regular pro team bib shorts seem to be a rather thick material when comparing them to any other brand of bib shorts I have had in the past. I have always ridden with regular bib shorts for the winter but though having insulated ones would be sweet for winter. Some of those cold rides can leave you looking like an 8yr old getting in the shower after a really cold ride if you know what I mean

BUT...

I have also been in the market for a rapha vest so I could just layer for my cooler rides. Rapha is releasing a new LS jersey and Gilet combo and I'm in love with it. I was thinking that the LS jersey and vest would be more versatile than insulated bib shorts. PLUS the Vest and jersey would match my current Lime green rapha pro team bib shorts and SS jersey I already have.

Which would you feel to be a more beneficial item?

Insulated Bib shorts-$260
New LS jersey/Gilet-$300


Here are some picts of the new LS jersey/vest




Here is my current kit
