Just goes to show, I looked at the £330 for that sportful jacket and thought there's no way I can justify spending that much dollar on a jacket.

I am sure someone on here will know the full story, but to my understanding Sportful is a sort of in-store brand from an Italian conglomerate of factories that make kit for Assos and Castelli. Their NoRain fabric is rumoured to be gabba fabric but re-branded and then sold for roughly 2/3 of the price.
I've not had the chance to compare, as I never owned gabba, but I own some bits of Sportful NoRain kit and have no complaints. -
I didn't know they make kit in that price category.
Hmm... if so I would perhaps steer towards Rapha actually. I own the hooded rain II (or whatever it's called) and I find it pretty amazing in terms of fit and comfort. -
I paid around half that for my jacket...I certainly wouldnt stretch to that kind of money...

On a general note I reckon Sportful is superb value for money. If you've narrowed your options down to A, B and Sportful, and they come out quite equal, then just take the Sportful one.
