    The lenses on the second one are too see through, and the lenses on the first one i've heard you can barely see through.
    Can someone give me a heads up on these helmets? I wanna know what i might expect if i do get one. If you own one, or know someone who has one and you know from secondhand experience, please let me know thank you.
    Bottomline: which one is better?

    Depends on what you want the helmet for. If you just want a Halloween costume for a hoot, then either are of similar quality. If you want an authentic helmet that could be 501st approvable, then neither. There is a ton of info at the following link about helmets:

    http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?s=e00ab8c263ed9fd9a217bb680cad0ce5&showforum=29

    It is a matter of how accurate you want your costume to be and are you just going to wear it for this an that or are you trying to become a TK.

    Like Annya said, it all depends on what you want. FX and AP helmets and kits are popular. There is a vendor who I am not too fond of, but for the interest of being fair, I will keep it to myself... unless you PM me, then it is fair game.
