I had a similar sync-up with the Giro Pneumo. It fit great; Giro discontinued it; the replacement model (whose name I've forgotten) didn't fit at all. Giro rebooted the Pneumo in a MIPS version several years later, which also didn't fit.
The Giro Bishop fits; I've worn one daily for about four years. I suppose I should start trying on helmets again, to be prepared for the next time I need a replacement. As long as the helmet's passed the certifications, I suspect all helmets provide equivalent protection. The key thing is whether it fits, which can only be established by trying it on. And whether you wear it properly. As for Grant's helmet grudges: Grant's *just this guy*, you know? I'm sure we've all got our own fixations; there's no need to accept Grant's fixations as determinative for yourself, if you didn't already embrace them on your own. I feel fully entitled to disregard Grant's preferences when they contradict my own, such as his distaste for high-waisted bike pants. I have a pair of MUSA pants that I practically never wear, because I hate the way they pull down and expose my buttcrack - cold on the kidneys, and an unpleasant view for whoever's behind me. But I am an in-duh-vidual; I don't have to embrace Grant's preferences if I don't wanna.
