Default Bike to Bike Communications

I am looking into getting an intercom setup. I would really like as wireless as possible with good range and bluetooth. I know the Scala Q2s are suppose to be sweet, but it is lacking some options I want. I don't like how you can only talk to one person at a time with a max of 2 connections. However everything about FRS and 900MHz I have found say they suck at anything above 40mph. I would really like to tie these into a camera setup to record the conversations while we ride.

Anyone know other good setups?

I've never used them so I don't know anything about their quality, but I've been on several rides with guys that use them and I've never heard a complaint, but then again I never asked about them.

How deep are your pockets? Either of these systems are considered top drawer.

The beaher I don't consider top drawer as it is the FRS/900MHz ones I was referring to that suck over 40mph. I could build those myself as a matter of fact. Wired systems are not something I am looking for, unless I can find a headset worth a damn in a helmet, building the wiring harness would be really cheap and easy, then just plug it in a basic FRS radio.

I have heard the same for the starcomm as well.

BTW I've used several different communication systems. The only decent conversation I ever had while riding was with my and buddy's phones wired into a Chatterbox intercom systems. But the part that was the key to that success was the NOJ Quiet Rider. In my experience, this is where most of the noise comes from in a helmet and the best lids have the best neck guards.
