On that note, bought my helmet at Pegasus. Super convenient and positive experience. Wish I could have afforded the Arai, but got my new Bell helmet with a confidence not available through internet orders.

I ordered a Bell M.8 SA2015 in early January. Still waiting. I've been told they'll start shipping in June and could take 6-8 weeks to fulfill all the back orders. So upwards of an 8 month wait for a damn helmet.
