MM Elite

[JWELD]

How does the new MM Elite helmet compare with the Speedglass 9000, which I really like.

Thanks

If your looking for an additional helmet for offsite or backup then I would definetely buy the big window elite. I have the miller XLix helmet and the 9000x, The elite is supposed to be better than the XLix it has more sensors and larger window. I use the 9000x 99% of the time the miller stays in the bag except on occasion when I leave the 9000x in the truck. I am going to wait to buy another helmet until the next technology step. I would say if the 9000x is functioning well and you like it, stick with it. I really like my 9000x but the XLix is nearly equal to it.

JWELD,

I have an Optrel Satellite and a Miller Big Window Elite. My Optrel now just sits on the shelf and is my back up. They are both great helmets. The Big Window Elite works great down to 5 amps on GTAW.
