Mood: the rain in spain falls mainly on me!
you single most important thing is to get the best fit.
a good fitting 200 quid lid will be better than an ill fitting 500 quid lid.
you will generally get better construction/spec with higher priced stuff and they may well be lighter too. i used to have an arai and loved it, now have a shoei mainly because it had the graphics i wanted and it fits as well as my arai did. the only downside is the venting is not so good but i have sorted that with a foggy mask.
