I really, realy dislike an ill-fitting helmet, even more than a silly looking helmet. I've stopped even looking at other helmets.

Head shape is a funny thing- way variable, plus the size thing on top. Find out which manufacturer's helmets fit you best (by shopping other LBS'- try on everything, even the high priced helmets you'll never buy, then you'll know what a better fitting helmet feels like) and then you will likely be able to shop price online for the next purchase.
