I own the Bonka6 and also the now unavailable fugu jacket. Underneath them I only ever wear a single long sleeve base layer which is a Helly Hansen Warm. The Bonka keeps me warm in temperatures down to about 4 degrees C but below that I need the Fugu. If I wear the Fugu at 6 degrees or higher I'm melting. The Habu5 is classed as an early winter jacket so not even as warm as the Bonka. So I would say with the same base layer it would be 8 degrees minimum temperature range for me.
I have both the 851 and the Habu. The Bonka would be closest to the 851. The Habu is definitely lighter. I love the Habu... my favorite. It's probably the most versatile thing I own for cycling, but it's not for super cold weather. I suppose you'd want the Bonka plus whatever layers make it work for you. Getting the right cold weather gear is about as personal as finding the right saddle. We all heat and sweat differently, and so it's hard to really go on others opinions too much until you experiment for yourself.
