I'm awaiting delivery of the two I have on order.  So far from what has been shown in the three separate threads in this helmet:

-the dimensions of the bucket itself look pretty good.  In my opinion from photos, the dome may be slightly shorter, but only a bit if any

-the RF stalk is too short and the RF topper is flat on top instead of beveled and is missing the LEDs.

-the bottom width of the mandibles seems a bit too wide

-the ears look fantastic

-the detail inside the dent is not very accurate, but only fellow TDH folks would notice.

-the vents on the back need to be cut out (same as on any cold cast or fiberglass buckets much more expensive)

All in all, this helmet still seems by far to be the best low budget option.

I plan on swapping out the RF stalk and topper with the correct parts, replacing the visor with a correctly shaded one of thicker material and doing a layered Humbrol airbrush paint job. 

I have an ASOK (RIP buddy, you are missed), a fiber glass Fettpride, and a near mint Master Replicas.  For my money, it depends on what you want.  I will be stoked to fix the things I've mentioned (I may have to tweak/add some of the physical damage) and then give it a proper layered ESB paint job.
