New Helmet needed.

My ESAB Aristo Tech has decided to put its legs in the air. It probably just needs a new set of batteries but as usual it always happens when you least need it. This has brought home the fact that after 8 years of service I should have been looking for its replacement a while ago. The new R Tech Speedmaster PRO HD looks interesting at a sensible price or should I dig a bit deeper and go for the ESAB A60. Has anyone got any experience of either of them?

Working on the theory that you cant take it with you I dug deep and went for the ESAB A60. It turned up this afternoon and the only word that sums it up is WOW! The clarity is unbelievable, so much so I forgot what I was doing and made a right mess of the weld. I will have a proper play with it tomorrow but initial impressions are excellent.
