I have the Bell 500 as well as the Bell Pit Boss, which is my everyday helmet. Both are very well made, especially the Pit Boss, which is vastly superior to every other half helmet I've tried.
I tried on the Rouge and there's no doubt it's very well made. I guess the basic idea is it's really a 3/4 helmet that looks like a half helmet, at least from a distance. The face guard is really just to give the rider some protection from road debris and bugs; it's unlikely to give the rider any significant protection in the event of a crash. I found this helmet comfortable, but I didn't like the look and the face guard can be a real pain to attach.
As for the Nolan, I don't know why anyone is comparing that to the Bell Rouge as these two helmets are not even remotely similar.

You know. I've been looking better coverage for my head.
Obviously I wont get better coverage then a full face. But unless im on a croch rocket I dont want to wear that thing on my harley, that's just me. I am interested in the rogue, and it will deff be an upgrade from the brain cap that I wear. Plus the muzzle will protect you from the elements, and if you do go down, to some extent it just might keep your face from being eaten by the road. Of corse depends your speed. The muzzle is much more eazier then tieing a bandana everytime around my face. I might order it, try it, and if i don't like the feel of it ill just send it back.

this helmet would def. be a great alternative to a full face sportbike looking helmet if it had a solid chin bar. The way the top of the helmet is makes it look more like a "cruiser helmet". Wonder if there are any helmets like this design that have a sold chin bar with the army helmet style top like this one?
