This one was featured in an email sent to me today, looks interesting, especially with the "aquavent." I'd like to see some reviews on it first, though....

I thinkg e-rudy.com still has some, not positive. They had about a 100 after preorders left.

Zero neck soreness and I've taken it out for 40 miles in 90 degree weather, no issues with over heating. Very lightweight.

I picked up Louis Garneau Air Rocket this summer.  Easy on/off if you grab by the ear flaps to spread slightly as you put on.  Unlike some aero helms, it's not too hot while riding even in low 90's.
As with any helm, though, try one on before you buy.  Good, comfortable fit is critical on long rides.

You could pick up a giro advantage2 on ebay for half that, or a 1/3 of that if you are patient....

Pretty standard and nothing fancy, but not sure you'd be able to determine the performance difference of that and a helmet twice as much if cost is a concern. 

I've only used it at Timberman a few days ago, but it seemed cool enough to me on a fairly warm day.  Definitely a different feel than my sport helmet at high speeds.  I have a limited sample size obviously because I've never tried other aero helmets though so someone else might chime in and say it's the worst ever...
