Spent $1,800 on a used Kirby Morgan helmet and it paid for itself in 3 months

Everyone told me I was crazy dropping $1,800 on a used KM-37 when my old fiberglass hat was doing fine. First month I almost ate it on a pipeline job in 40 feet of murky water because the seal was shot and I didn't catch it. Rebuilt the whole thing for another $400, new seals and a comms upgrade. But here's the thing, the visibility and comfort in that helmet changed how long I could stay down and how steady my work got. Two months later I picked up a welding gig on a dock repair that specifically required a Kirby, and that one job covered the whole setup. If you're still diving a cheap hat because it's what you've got, is it really saving you money or just costing you jobs?
