This might become really popular with commuters, especially in the summer. Not so much the light feature, but the cooling fans feature.

Lightforce System: A fully integrated and rechargeable battery powers two high-capacity fans for increased helmet ventilation and an ultra-bright LED light ideal for nighttime utility or increased rider visibility
 
I've put that on my wish list. Sweet - thanks for posting.
 
thanks for posting the link to the review.

The extra weight I'd expect from the added features and the battery. The noise of the fans shouldn't be a factor with earplugs. I wouldn't need the light but the fans providing some movement of air when stopped at traffic lights or stop-n-go traffic in July and August seems like a really nice thing to have. I would expect the fans don't provide much if any benefit when you're moving (unless you have a gigantic windshield you hide behind as mentioned in the review).
 
With all the talk about battery fires recently in the electric MX thread, I wonder if that's the reason they don't recommend running both fans at once?
