I hope Steve doesn't mind but I thought I'd add my opinion as I have a J1, also. I bought mine because it's a good compromise between a full-face lid (which are too confining for my liking) and a p*** pot lid, which, for me, doesn't cover enough of the face. Using my chin as a brake just does not appeal. :|
As mentioned above, the visibility is fantastic, with excellent peripheral vision.
It fits really well and doesn't move, even if I turn my head at speed. They're quite a small fit so either try before you buy or aim for a size bigger than normal.
It's not the quietest around but it's not too bad.
The flip-down sun visor is great, especially if you're riding through intermitent patches of sun and shade (a tree-lined road, for example). Flip it down in the bright bits and up when you enter the shade. I thought it was a bit of a gimmick at first but it's a really useful feature.
Ventilation is great, as you'd expect from looking at it. There's only a single vent on top but you can feel it working when you open it. It could get cold in the winter with the wind blowing up the open chin-area but wearing a facemask negates this.
It's lightweight and all-day comfortable.
I suppose I should quantify all this and say it's the first lid I've bought/worn in 5 years so I've nothing really to compare it to.
