I understand that the Bell and Simpson are very comparable in terms of safety and overall quality. I tried on both helmets back to back, and I preferred the Simpson. It fit my head a bit better and I felt the face was more open (the area between the face guard and the top of the helmet).

From what I was told the G-Force helmets are not as good of quality and you may want to steer away from them even though they are cheaper.

It would be nice if you could find someone local who carried both types so you could make a direct comparison, but if the Simpson fits well I say go for it.
