Anyone got a Shoei X-11 in Austin?

I rode with mine Sunday, I wear earplugs but it was plenty quiet. My earplugs weren't in the whole way when I first went out and it was maybe a tad louder than my previous Arai Q2, but not by much, on the way home I got my ear plugs in better and it was 10 x's more quiet.

I also love that the viewing area is greater, you can see to the sides much better and the chin guard is further from your chin. I could stick out my chin and touch with my Arai, there's no way I'm touching with this one so I assume in a crash it wouldn't hit my mouth as easily.

I understand the hesitation though, it's a lot of money and I wear mine all the time so I need it to be comfortable and fit right.
