What I like about bar mounted mirrors is that the mirror is always pointed in the direction you're looking. With the helmet/glasses mirrors, you have to look- process where your vision is- move your head- then process what you're seeing.

I can imagine that you get used to it- with experience you can get good at it. But having a mirror in a fixed location with a fixed view is just easier, quicker and safer.
