I like the look of that, it has a very similar spec to my "Buffalo" textile jackets including Knox CE armour etc. Not everyone likes textile but I am very happy with it. I give it a can of spray-on waterproofing every November  especially front and sleeves and it has served me well. I do have a couple of lighter leathers as well but for a long ride or poor weather I use the textile every time.
Your choice looks a winner to me mate.

I just got the Interstate jacket.

Havent been able to ride with it yet due to the snow... As far a fit and construction I am very pleased.  Fits very well and will be very versitile, removable liner and venting in the arms and back.  Also completely waterproof.

yeah, I was looking at it, it isn't much of a upgrade from the Chicane that I have been wearing for the last two years, but if I was just buying another jacket for summer riding localy it whould have been my second choice, behind another chicane.  after this last crash I am really looking at the armor ratings, the armorshield dual denisity foam worked great, but I want the rated stuff,  and the cold wind blast down the ass crack sucks.

I'm not a big fan of that style of jacket, but it still looks good. Lots of zipper vents. I've found you just can't have enough of those. Another good thing. Also like the removable liner. One of the things it doesn't have that I look for is removable armor (at least the elbows).

Looks good to me. The armor looks great. Those big zippers up the chest should be comfortable too.  

I went with a matching jacket/pants to get the 360-degree zipper; you don't want that jacket riding-up in a slide.  But even if you don't get a matching set, you can still have a tailor (or cousin who sews) sew a zipper onto some riding pants, so you can zip the waist all'round.
