2) Would you buy a LSH considering these benefits:
A) cost less, B) improved air flow/eliminates need for wraparound pads, C) cage protection on par w/ more expensive titanium HSM, D) improved peripheral vision, E) collar less exposed to foul balls, F) eliminating wraparound pads increases facial recognition, and G) significantly less risk of concussion from 95mph foul ball.

3) Do you consider this LSH a visual/fashion improvement over the HSM or do you consider these LSH as ugly or uglier than a HSM?
IOW, would you give one to an close relative who may umpire as a Christmas present or pass on something else with the same amount of value such as a new powder blue polo shirt, underarmour shirt and black knee-high socks?
