I bought a Bell V1-Pro early this year, and recommend it highly.  
It's a little more money than the Biker model, but worth it I believe.

SAFETY - All the Bell helmets have a good safety record. I recall seeing
	that the V1-Pro passed the new ANSI test for bike helmets.

COMFORT - this is the big plus for the V1-Pro over the Biker (or anyuthing
	else I've seen).  My biggest gripe about other helmets is that they
	restrict your vision when riding the drops.  The result is that
	I have to hold my head higher, with the result being earlier
	tiredness of my neck muscles.  Since I got the V1-Pro, this
	hasn't been a problem.  It's very light, and it rides high on and
	close to the forehead (like a "leather hairnet", but much safer).
