I'm not sure about the price of the Cabelas jacket but another option may be to watch for sales or the classified section of this website, camofire, craigslist, ebay, etc? I can always find bargain deals for about 1/2 off Kuiu and Sitka....which are tough to beat for quality! Older model Sitkas can often be picked up for chunk change! Do a web search and look for jackets with great ratings. I'm sure the jacket you mentioned likely has ratings on Cabelas website...that may be another place to check out?
