Yup. DO IT. With your leftover money, you may want to consider AGV Sport Laguna Gloves. You can usually get them under $100, and they were chosen by Sport Rider magazine as the best racing gauntlet, because they have most of what you get in the top end gloves for a very reasonable price. I love mine.
After helmet, my priorities are: extremities (feet and hands, the things that hit hardest and most often, and get trapped and twisted); then jacket and pants. None of it is unimportant, for sure; but I would wear cheaper jacket/pants before I would wear crappy boots/gloves.
Also: constantly shop closeouts on sportbiketrackgear.com and motorcyclecloseout.com. Lots of ridiculous deals to build up a set of quality gear.
