Hi sean, no worries and some very logical and salient points made regarding these contemporary helmets. I fully intend on gaining one for my collection, but I think I will wait it out until they become more within my budget, I can remember paying £30 for my first Mk6a, and that was only a year after their initial release, I refuse to pay £175 for a mk7!!

Cheers Mate,good discussion point.

Gary.
