Currently riding with the Metro as well. Also purchased for $40 (probably the same clearance sale). The Metro was Bell/Giros top of the line Commuter/Urban helmet which I recall retailed in the $75-85 dollar range when it was introduced. While not expensive in todays world of $200/$250 competition/pro Giro helmets, Back in the day the Metro was a top tier helmet when even top end competition/pro Giro helmets tended to max out in the $125/$170 range.
Big Kudos for having the fore sight to purchase a spare metro. It was and still is an excellently designed helmet in my most humble opinion.
