Given your budget, the Patagonia Down Sweater is a very solid choice for insulation (would highly recommend getting the one with the hood). Would also recommend investing in an outer shell to wear over the down jacket, particularly on windy days.

People will downvote me for this, but I've owned a LOT of jackets here in the north-east. I bought a Canada goose parka as a splurge 5 years ago. It is still the highest quality jacket I've ever owned. Beats out of course north face, Patagonia, Arcteryx, Helly Hansen are all the ones i've owner. None of these jackets lasted more than 2-3 years. The CG materials seem much more durable etc. Are you paying for a logo? of course, there's a price to that. But again, I love mine and have had great experience with it. I actually bought a second non-parka one a few months ago. The only issue with the Parkas are they are VERY warm and driving in them or keeping them on semi-warm days you may get a tad warm.
