It's a hefty bill indeed.. I'd say it would depend on your perspective. With the Super DH, which I have worn quite a bit, you feel like you are wearing a full face, for better or worse. It's not much heavier but it feels bulkier, has less ventilation and makes it difficult to hear. I was riding with a buddy today who was wearing a Super DH and he pulled off the jawpiece for our 15 minute ride out from the bottom of the trail. I had forgotten I was wearing a chin bar. Taking the chin bar off the Super DH is also more of a chore and difficult, if not impossible, to do without removal. If your goals are to have a lighter, better ventilated full face that easily swaps to and from full face, it might be worth the extra cash.
