Shoei XR1100 - SV650.org

I'm very happy with my XR1000 of 3 years and now thinking of getting a second lid.

With the 'Dawn'

of the new XR1100 (£300), which looks great with good spec on paper, it is on top of my list. however I can now get a XR1000 for £200, is the new XR1100 worth the extra £100?

I tried it on in a shop last week, the fit is great, the field of vision is better, the visor works very well, all moving parts has a good solid feel. But it is 150g heavier then the XR1000 ( I guess because shoei wants it to get 5 stars in Sharp test)

Now, has anyone got one and road tested it yet? what is your take on the XR1100?
