Anyone got a Shoei X-11 in Austin?

My findings:

Having ridden a few miles in the X-11, I can say it's about as quiet as my HJC. The fit, of course, is much better. I didn't notice the venting even though I made it a point to open every vent. The aerodynamics at freeway speeds are awesome. The weight is reasonably light. The shield changing system is a million times better than the crappy HJC system.

It's definitely better than my HJC but is it 3x better ($200 vs $600)... That is the question.
