The Celeris is my go to for the descent on bikes (it packs to about the size of an orange) I wear the Accelero with an Arc'teryx Motus for cold weather and can wear it up and down. The Celeris breathes well, but not as well as the Accelero, but offers a bit more wind resistance.

It's not a direct comparison between these two since one is feathers and the other synthetic. Each insulation has it's good points. One thing to consider is the construction.

Washing these is part of the program to keep the performance at it's best; this helps both the water repellency and breathability. As indicated, use a tech wash(not detergent) and finish it in the dryer at med heat for about 20 mins to re-set the DWR. The factory DWR will help to keep dirt from sticking as well as water.

A couple clarifications- neither of these jackets are built to keep you dry when it's raining, especially in Seattle. They will shed light snow and a bit of drizzly rain. If you're looking for an insulated water proof or resistant jacket, check the Kappa of Fission SV. The Kappa is taped windstopper and one of the best values in the entire Arc'teryx lineup.
To the comment about all Arc'teryx jackets being GoreTex, that is completely incorrect.
And, the Atom SV has a bit of hood adjustability, the Atom Lt does not.

TJ. DO NOT USE the wash in Nikwax! there is a spray on version that you should use. Initially the water repellency that comes on the jacket is way better than what the replacement product will offer, so just go with it as it is. To keep the factory repellancy, wash your outerwear regularly with a tech-wash soap, and put it in the dryer (med heat for about 20 mins) the heat is critical to restore the beading. After many seasons, when your jackets don't bounce water quite as well, then it's time to re-treat with Nikwax or Grangers spray-on water repellant. Finish this with some time in the dryer as well. Don't expect this treatment to make this jacket waterproof; it will bounce very light rain and snow, but if you need to stay dry, buy a proper GoreTex jacket.
