While the heights of both helmets are fairly similar, more of your head fits into the ACC helmet. Also, ACC provides head band-type foam of various thicknesses so that you may custom-fit the helmet to your head; Daytona does not. The mushroom effect is most noticable with the Daytona. Not so for the ACC; it looks like you're wearing a non-DOT helmet. ACC is the keeper for me.

There's a 4-5 week wait on the Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Helmets from ACC while they manufacture new helmets. Bought mine from Chilhowee Motorcycle Leather in Oregon for $169.00.

The ACC DOT helmet also has a kazoo like appearance, just not as much as other brands of DOT half helmets. But it is not 100% accurate to claim the ACC DOT 1/2 helmet looks just like a novelty or non-DOT 1/2 helmet. Novelty helmets are still much lower profile than the ACC DOT. If you just have to have a DOT 1/2 lid, the ACC is the smallest/least DOT looking one available that I have seen or had. But it clearly is bulkier/higher/thicker/wider than a novelty lid.
$185! and it looks like it has the same tape inside of it that you put on the bottom of your truck topper, it would have to be a little more refined before I'd spend that much on one.
But they do look cool.
And the Winner is (Low-Profile DOT Helmet)...
