Well, it's a heck of a lot easier to make than the masterwork that some Corinthians are, and it's less restrictive around your head, and it lets the breeze through better...
Beautiful helmet, though! I can't place the museum though, it's nagging at me...

If you see the hoplon thread you wil get par of the answer.
Pilos was cheap and it could be massed produced.
The worsening economy after the Pelopnessian war was crucial to its adoption.
