However, with the Madstad windshield, I have been wondering if I need to spend that kinda money to get a quiet helmet. The Madstad has essentially eliminated wind noise and buffeting in most conditions.
While you're helmet shopping at Revzilla, take a look at the Kabuto Ibuki modular helmet. It's a little less expensive than the Schuberth and has so many great features. While your point about the quietness provided by the Madstad is valid, there are other important features to consider in a helmet besides quietness.
