Some shops will price match, so if you do find something you like, give them a chance to get your business.

I went to wine country with intend to buy Arai GP-6. After trying a few helmet, I ended up with Sparco WTX-7. Now, keep in mind, you should not get captivated by looks. Try it out and walk around with it. If you use head sock, bring it with you. If you use glasses, bring it with you. The Stilo and Arai didn't fit me well, especially with glasses.
The Bell actually fits me the best, but I didn't like the ventilation. I settled for Second best, which was the Sparco. The Sparco, even though it is carbon, it is not the lightest, unfortunately.

I got mine at I/O Port. It's a one man shop run out of the guy's home. I think his name is Ken. Anyway, he spent tons of time with me, gave me lots of super advice and in the end, I was very happy to be buying locally.
Each manufacturer shapes their helmets a bit differently, so the fit will really depend on your head shape. I ended up with a bit of an off-brand, Zero Nine, because it just fit my head the best. He doesn't have a ton of brands, but it was a pretty descent selection.
Wine Country has a bigger selection, but it was a bit far for me. From what I remember, Ken's prices were about the same as what I'd seen online, too.
