I've started playing div A this year, and in the last 3 weeks I've taken three shots to the head. One resulted in a head injury, while the other two just annoyed me. The bottom line is that you want to protect your head as much as possible. Honestly, the only Bauer I would ever use is the NME10.
A buddy and I were talking about this the other day. Goalie masks are like the old days of car tuning, instead of cheap/fast/reliable (pick two), it's cheap/protective/light (pick two).
My Eddy GT is decked out with Maltese gel and a big cheater cage. It's protective, but it's heavy at 3.5lbs. I would love to get into something new. Bump your starting price to $800 and you're in a good range for custom made and full carbon protection.
