Urge Archi-Enduro?

Has anyone used one of the Urge Archi-Enduro helmets?
Do they offer as much protection as a traditional full face helmet? It has the same CE certification as the Down-o-matic, but is a fair bit lighter.
Now I have the EVOC pack, I want a lighter full face that I can carry with no issues. When doing some exploring, its nice to have the full face to hand!
I've got a 661 MX helmet (carbon etc), It was handed down from my bro as he sold his biking stuff not long after buying it.
Now its good and fits well, but its a bit too heavy for me and doesn't work well with my body armour. So i'd be looking to sell this one.
Or any other options?

Down-O-Matic is pretty light and my face didn't look like that after I landed face first at pretty high speed.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

That "review"'s a load of crap, the guy even accepts that it was a stupid crash and a freaky thing that caused the injury (a stick getting stuck in the chinpiece, he thinks) but he still wants to blame his kit. It's not a forcefield, if you're daft enough you'll still get hurt.
Not sure what the point of it is, though... The Down-o-matic's superbly vented so the big gap at the front on the Endur-o-matic seems to be more or less psychological. Oh and it's cut away at the back so you can wear a camelbak, but that's not a problem with any full face I've worn.
And yeah... Got a Down-o-matic, it's fantastic. Lightweight, comfy, extremely well vented. And I reckon it looks good, in Fakejet anyway, some of the colours are orrible though. Not a fan of the daft vent in the visor though, what's that for?Uncompromising extremist0
