Low-profile riding helmet recommendations?

Question

Can anyone recommend a riding helmet that isn't gigantic? I've had a Tipperary helmet for several years now, and it's an OK helmet, but I'd like to get something a little bit nicer and a little lower-profile. I ordered the IRH Elite from my local tack store since their website described it as low-profile, but it was bigger than my Tipperary!

Before I go ordering another helmet, does anyone know of a model that doesn't make your head look like a giant bubble? I ride English (mostly dressage, occasional jumping) and $200 is about the upper limit of what I'd like to spend.

I really like GPAs, but you'll have a hard time finding a good one for less than $200.

Here are some that are advertised as low-profile:

I haven't personally used any of these, but you might find one you like.
