Aside from the weld seam and the occipital lengths on a FEW helmets, I like the dodgy bits like imperfect edging, etc. No way I'd be willing to fork out for all-custom kit. When it comes to the fine detail like intricacy of detail work, it's a great opportunity to get stuck in without needing a blacksmith's setup in the house to make the main piece.
As a suggestion - if you're going to review a helmet and find it fits or doesn't fit, maybe it's worth taking full measurements of your own head and put them in the review at the very beginning.
Front > Back
Side > Side
Eyebrow > Top of Crown
Forehead sloped or flat
That way, others should be able to judge more objectively whether the helm will fit their own noggin.
