I had the Duke for a while.
Was well made but the difference between that and my Shoei Qwest is massive. The Qwest is much lighter, more comfortable, offers a better overall fit and is massively more quiet.
They conform to the same EU safety standards so you should be fine in that regard but I couldn't go back to one having experienced the difference of even a mid range helmet like the Qwest.

@DethBeard
what are your experiences of cheaper lids?
Currently rocking an AGV, had it for 6 months or so, but would like another helmet with built in Sun visor (i wear glasses all the time so shades are out)
MT Flux guys the bill for about £90, or a Caberg Duke for about £140.
Seen £40 lids but I wouldn't want to fall off a skate board in one of those, let alone on the motorways.
Edit: not completely set on flip fronts, not sure why I've been looking at them really
