I have the Nolan. So long as it fits, I doubt you'll have any regrets.
But do make sure it fits. I wear a size XL, and IMHO the fit is a bit
off - the chin guard brushes my chin a lot (and I'm not big-chinned like
Jay Leno... maybe they use the same face shield on all sizes of
helmets?) and I had to hollow out the cheek pads because they were
squeezing me into a pucker. But with that done, I like it.
