Does anyone have any first hand experience with LS2 helmets?  I can't find much at all about them on the internet in the way of reviews.  My local Ducati shop started carrying them as a lower price alternative to the Shoei/Aria/Schuberth they normally carry.  The one I was looking at (FF396FT2) looked great, incredibly light (just a tic over 3 lbs), inner sun visor, inflatable cheek pads, fiberglass construction was priced at $195.  They have a full carbon version for $300. It looks like they are manufactured in China and widely distributed in Europe and are slowly making there way into the US.

Any opinions/reviews?

Well that answered that!  Ordered an AGV today  [thumbsup]

They look nice not a fan of the origin though it does have the DOT certifications. I have a K3 I'm not a fan of it either, lens always fogs even with anti-fog agents, interior feels like carpet compared to my Suomy Vandal, the chin curtain sucks and is useless, and not visor lock. Which is probably the most annoying thing about the helmet as I head check a lot when going highway speeds the visor will flip up which is a deal breaker for me. Plus side good graphics, lens change is a walk in the park compared to the Vandal which seems, by design fail, and it sells at a nice price point.

I just picked up a Scorion EXO-1000 off SportBikeTrackGear for $100.00.  Great helmets also has inflatable cheekpads and drop down sun visor AND is DOT/snell certified.  I put a link in the official gear deals thread.
