I spend lots of money on various things. It just happens that on helmets I recently haven't.
So will be commuting with a Giro Air Attack for at least a couple more weeks. Guess I should mention that in spite of the apparent reduced number of ventilation slots - this thing has more effective and active ventilation than any other helmet I've ever tried. And that in spite of having an integrated visor that you would think would further reduce airflow. Apparently sone design engineers finished at the top of their classes.
