If you look at the forward contact area of the mask vs the helmet, you'll see how much more effective the mask is in distributing energy over a wider area. Plus, the padding on all my masks are far thicker than on my helmet. It's not even close.

Now granted, a square shot on the Shock helmet's grill may absorb a lot of energy via those bumpers. But that's only on a straight on blow.
