Ideally you want a visor that will stay open a tiny bit in city riding so you have less problems fogging. Between those two the design of the visor is pretty much the only difference. To me they don't look retro, but that's just because I'm old enough to have owned a few in that design.
Did you look at the Simpson helmets? In the 80's they were illegal and everyone wanted one. The AGV looks like the generic full face of that era.
Also if you haven't tried either on yet you might need to do that before you go any further, there are plenty of crash helmets that don't fit certain head shapes well.

After much research last night I think I've narrowed the helmet search down to the AGV X3000 or the Nexx XG100R. Too many bad reviews of the Bell Bullitt and I'm not totally sold on the Bell Eliminator although the styling is growing on me the more I look at them (also the vent cover seems like a bit of a faff in our climates and sure to be lost) Blauer 80s are apparently poorly manufactured and the Premier Trophy doesn't seem as nice in video footage as the photos make it look...
