Arai Helmet question!

I was looking into getting an Arai full face pretty soon.

But was confused as to why the GP-5 is so much more expensive compared to its other models the GP-5k and GP-5W.

As far as I know the GP-5k has less ventilation and is slightly heavier than the GP-5.

GP-5W has about the same amount of ventilation as GP-5 and even has a larger eyeport. It uses different shields than GP-5 because of the larger eyeport. This is about $800. GP-5 is about $1000.

What the hell?


Also...was wondering if SA2005 helmets could be used in Karting applications?
I know karting has its own standards Snell K-05..and Karting helmets can't be used for auto racing.
