Can't comment on the Raid, though I currently own the AGV-Stealth and my previous lid was a Shoei Z-1.

Personally, Shoei inspire me with more confidence safety-wise, though that may be their price tag or marketing that is influencing me more than anything else. Certainly the Z-1 was a more pricey helmet than the Stealth. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the Stealth. Good helmet for the price IMO. Slight downsides would be an easily misted visor (FogCity soon sorts that though) and a slightly sore forehead if I wear it for very long journeys without breaks.

I went for a matt black one - fits with the name after all - and use a silver tinted in the sunshine. Even if I look a tit I get a stupid boyish feeling of being a fighter pilot, though hopefully without the Top Gun latent homo issues

You could always wait until the big people in charge do the testing thing with all new lids and go for the best protection. Not sure ho wlong it'll be thouhg but I'm sure Bike said it wouldn't be that far away. Sort of like N cap for lids.

I've just read in RIDE that the helmet ratings should start to appear on the web in the spring with about 50% of the market tested by then, and the rest should be rated by the summer.

At the moment I'm leaning towards the Shoei because of the pinlock visor, although I've never actually used one before.

Many thanks for all of your responses
