Looks good to me, a little too bling for me though.

:P

I've got the GForce Pro SA2010 helmet, I had the SA2000 version for 9 years before this one.

Based on your IP you have plenty of places to go and try one on in your neck of the woods. Not every helmet will fit the same. Manufacturer's interpret sizes and head shapes differently.
Once you found one that fits you, and wear it about 15 minutes or so, then you can always STFF the net to find better pricing.

Nice choice on the Sparco helmet. We sell the same one at the same price.

The most important thing, IMHO, is that the helmet will fit in your car. My helmet(s) didn't fit in my CLS when I owned that, so make sure you can actually fit with the helmet on before taking the tags off
