The sun is honestly one of the best things Calgary has going for it. People don't realize this till they leave.

I'm a born and raised Calgarian, living in Van for the past 4 years and I don't mind it.
It is very dark and grey sometimes, but I find it's a fair trade off for the cold in Calgary. I can still go for walks in the rain, go running and I play outdoor soccer year around. To me, that's worth the rain.
Having said that, I know other Calgarians who have moved there and been more sensitive to the grey so I think it's a personal thing.
As for the cost of living, it's marginally higher in Vancouver but not by much. Housing on the other hand is considerably higher.
