As far as BMX style helmets being hotter, it can get to almost 120F in the summer where I live. ANYTHING I put on my head is going to be hot, so I might as well be wearing a helmet that's comfortable and that I think I look good in. The "get over it" mentality I see so much on here is so ridiculous. It's something you're wearing. I doubt the people that say that go into a store when they're shopping for clothes and just buy the most functional/comfortable/etc thing no matter how ugly it is because they've "gotten over it."
You shouldn't be criticized for wanting a helmet that looks cool.
When we say, "get over it" we're saying, that regardless of what helmet you purchase, everyone who does not bike/skate will think that you look ridiculous so it's best to get what you want and "get over" what anyone will think of you. It's a positive thing. And Hell's yeah on the B2!! I love mine, and like you, heat is heat and we're going to sweat regardless. Rock it!
