I'm considering an open-face myself; I not sure if there are any disadvantages, other than loss of anonymity, and/or if you plan to drive a formula Ford or sans roof and windshield.

Thanks for that. Why risk it, simply go for the SA, it sucks having to use a loaner or borrow a helmet--who wants somebody else's sweat and saliva in their helmet or on their head and face.

I wish there was a US importer for these helmets, they look nice.
