Wow...that's very helpful. Thank you!
I'm sure there's probably some loss of protection (from projectiles coming in through the bigger face opening, if nothing else), but for me the extra visibility would be worth it. I've never been able to talk myself into a 3/4 helmet because of the missing chin bar. This would seem to be the best of both worlds...or at least the best compromise.
It's too bad they never seem to go on sale. I actually own 4 different RS-1s (on the theory that, when you find something that really works for you, it's a good idea to buy a few). Fortunately the RS-1 has always been easy to find on closeout, often for half price or less. I actually have one in the same design as yours...only paid $170 for it. Pretty great helmet for that price!
I also have the transition shield, and love it. Hopefully they'll eventually make one for the Bullitt. Seems like a no-brainer to me...even though they're expensive.
