That is hard to say without going into the composition of the sheetmetal used.
I myself prefer a helmet which is made from 2mm thick modern sheetmetal.
Everything under 1.5mm is for me good for display and not for the way we do our fighting/training.
For an impression:
a showfight

and
a funfight

But this belongs more to the Ancient Combat Sports at this forum.
If a helmet is reconstructed i sure would like to see the end result.
