It's been 8 years since I was on a track, so I need to replace my old SA2005 helmet. While I hope to do more racing starting this year I only have 1 autocross day planned. I don't want to break the bank on a new helmet, but I also don't want to cheap out on one of the most important safety items. I got a nasty concussion many years ago when I backed into a wall around 80 mph....
Looking for recommendations on a SA2015 helmet. My main concern is obviously safety, beyond that I prefer more ventilation over lighter weight (never really got fatigue from the weight of my old helmet, just really sweaty).
I know Bell is a quality company so I was looking at their entry level sport helmet:

I don't usually like cheap brands I've never heard of, but these seem to be popular for beginners:

My old helmet was made by Pyrotech and I have no complaints (other than that's what I was wearing when I hit the wall, but that's not the helmets fault). They have this carbon fiber helmet that's less than the Bell or the fiberglass version for $90 less.

Those were the 3 that stood out to me doing my internet research, but I thought I'd ask here since you guys actually own and use these helmets as intended.
