Arai Profile - model changes, good source?

[spotrot]

Hi,

I need to buy a new(er) Arai. The track I'm going to (Homestead) requires a Snell 2005 and a helmet under 5 years old.

The Signet (long oval) is the only helmet that fits my head so the Profile model that supercedes it is the new model.

Does anyone know if there were any significant changes in Profiles from 2009/2010/2011? That will help my decision.

The second question reagrds a good source. I lean toward internet stores but I thought Arai only gave warranties for helmets bought via brick and motar.

Any advice is appreciated,

This thread is to show everyone what helmet you wear. Must be a picture. Here is mine. No big brand, but its a lid. It should be here this week along with the mirrored visor. Sooner or later I will buy a nice Shoei.
