Need new Helmet Suggestions!

Well I've had the EXO-1000 for a while now and noticed some stuff. It's one of the quietest helmets I've ever had (KBC, Seven O Seven).

The only real complaint I have is the helmet sits low on my head. I can't really "look up" because the back hits my neck or my jacket. A full tuck into the windshield is really hard to do.
 
I really like the exo 1000's and tried on several... My problem is my noggen falls right between XS and S. But for my head shape, the helmet opening is too tight, and it felt like my ears were getting peeled taking it on/off... Once on, the XS felt very comfy. But, one of the ones I tried on also whistled like a tea pot when I took it for a test ride- even with all the vents closed. lol. So I had to give up =(.

Nowadays am lusting after an AGV GP Tech... xP
 
I could just say something like buy a Gmax GM68. I really like mine, but I think the process is the most important. Personally, I would try on like 10 - 50 helmets to see how close you can get it to fitting your head shape. Fit being defined by when I press on my helmet sides, top or front, is the force hitting 1 or 2 points or being distributed. You want a distributed fit as much as possible. Then pull up on the back of the helmet to see how hard it is to pull it off that want. It should kind of lock onto your head.

Then of the helmets which fit, look at features and price.
