Yes, you most certainly can. Perhaps your region doesn't allow but I know mine does as does another region in which I occasionally attend events.
I absolutely buy into the "Got a $10 head? get a $10 helmet" argument but I don't see that as the case here. At the same time, I don't know that you necessarily need to spend the kind of money that Bell wants for some it's helmets either.
You'll have a tough time convincing me that a "M" helmet offers inferior protection than that of a "SA" helmet. They both offer significant protection. Have you ever seen a Superbike rider crash at 120+mph? In addition, I know people that, when given the choice, prefer the "M" helmet to the "SA" due to their wider field of vision - I'm one of those (and I have both).
Just my $.02.
