I'd seriously consider the GT Air, that'll be my first helmet to look at when I come to replace the Arai, if its not that it'll be another Arai. I say this about the GT Air because I thought they'd be nearly a grand if not more when I first saw them given the spec level but the plain colours are around the $600 mark I think which I believe is awesome value.
Just ordered mine this morning...great features for a very decent price.

my raid 2 is quite noisy,i think its actually my screen which causes it.If i cover the joint between the visor and helmet at the bottom horizontal part with my hand that whistling noise(if the wind is about 3 4 head on) goes away.Gonna see if i can snug the visor down a wee bit tighter when you crank the little lever up
I have a LS2 384 iron and have used it for about a year/25000k and find it to be pretty good, reasonably quiet, good internal visor but it does tend to fog pretty easy and does funny things with airflow over 200ks (not that I'd ride that fast on the road)

I found this type of helmet great especially this time of year

I found the GT Air to be a different fit to the Qwest. GT Air was much 'narrower'. So I wouldn't rule em out just cos you're not a 'Shoei fit'
The GT Air has a narrower opening than previous Shoei helmets (this helps with its quietness apparently), but the skull sizing is suppose to be the same.
I found the GT Air sizing quite tight compared to my current shoei, but OK. I am waiting to try the next size up before buying either, but a GT air it will be, hopefully this week.
