I agree. It'll be more comfortable, it'll vent better, and it will have better peripheral vision. Also, the fit will be snugger, so that at higher speeds (ie on highways/the interstate) you won't get as much wind "lift."
Fieldsheer and Shift both make some good stuff; two things to keep in mind no matter what brand you buy however is comfort and fit. Gear has to fit you properly to do it's job in the event of a crash/slide.... and comfort - well, if it's not comfy, you're more liable to go "Eh, I don't feel like wearing my jacket/gloves/boots today... it'll be alright." (and it can't do ya any good if it's hanging at home in a closet).
