I like my Arai.. All except for changing the visor... what a PINA. But Its light, has great cooling, decent shield visibility, good options to change the fit such as different cheek pads and everthing is removable for cleaning. But in all honesty, I just bought an HJC IS-16 for 140, it has the slide down inner dark visor, removable liner. and its more comfortable and lighter than my Arai, and has great cooling. So my Arai sits on the shelf most of the time.
better than your scorpion? depends on what you feel is the defination of better. Lighter?.... maybe/ Better cooling?.... probably/ More comfortable?.... all depends on the shape of your head/Safer?.... probably the same/
If you really want an Arai, you'll be buying a great helmet, I just don't know that is better than your scorpion.
But an XL? thats a big helmet.

I was recently shopping for helmets on e-bay and saw those postings, too. I passed it up because it's always been reinforced to me that "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" and "you get what you pay for". Considering what your standard Arai is supposed to go for, there's gotta be some fishy reason why these guys have a batch of this particular design for so cheap. Then again, maybe people didn't dig the design and it's a bunch of overstock. Remember that it's still e-bay and it's always buyer beware.

I'd still get it from Revzilla if it were me tho. Their customer service is worth the $40 and they ship free.
