Yes, you are correct. I should have written, they all meet the same minimum standards for protection. MIPS claims to provide additional safety benefits. I am not an expert on what those benefits are.
I should also qualify, more expensive does not always mean lighter. My Giro Ionos was much heavier than the Atmos it replaced.
