Compromising on packability won't really help as the very breathable jackets will be very light and thin, and therefore pack down quite small.
I can't think of anything I'd recommend for under £120 (if you can find a Gore Alp-X or Alp 2.0 going cheap then snap it up but RRP is £220).
(My Alp-X is coming up 10 years old now, so it's running at about £15 a year. It needs reproofing every year or so but that's just a few quid for some Nikwax Tech Wash and then TX-Direct. I've ridden 600km Audaxes in it where it's rained [Welsh Sunshine] for the majority of the time and it has done its job perfectly.)
