+1 You'll just get yourself confused, TBH.
There are also a lot of threads already on these sorts of things, just do a search and you'll find plenty to read.
Welcome and photos are always welcome.
Excellent, very detailed writeup here TartuWolf!
I would agree - instead of asking "What's next -" I hope you wear this one and enjoy it. Don't worry about another jacket for several years. It's what "normal" people do. :)
For me, this part is kicking me with regard to the remaining Aero...
