Giro Advantage 2 tt helmet - Nashbar sale for $80 - good deal?
I'm new to cycling/triathlons, but I've found out that I'm apparently pretty competitive - I have a swimming background and am a strong runner... just need to work on that bike leg.
1. What is the advantage of a tt helmet vs. a regular one. How much of a difference does it make?
2. How good of a deal is the Giro Advantage 2 from Nashbar (currently on sale for $80 - 33% off plus, 20% off w/12hr sale). Should i "BUY IT NOW?".

I'm doing several triathlons this spring (at least 4 more - i'm on a college club team).

It could be a good spare for cooler weather, I would hate use one on a warm day.

There was a study that showed you how much wattage you save between a TT helmet and a normal, along with riding in the drops vs hoods, and lastly having a TT bike or a regular road bike.
There was a video somewhere on testrider.com
