Since you brought up tucking down: I've used both Shoei RF1100 and Arai RX-Q, and in a full tuck I seem to have an easier time with keeping my eyes up with the Shoei compared to the Arai probably due to the back of the neck being a little higher.

Again it's "seems" since it's been a while ago. Fogging up-wise both are about the same; the Shoei has a separate breath deflector that you need to insert and it has a fun little mechanism on the visor lock where you can set it to be slightly open to allow air to pass through. At a stop light in winter it's still gonna fog up the same way as the Arai though.

Personally I'd get an Arai again as my next lid but that's because the back of the head feels more comfortable for some reason. Like it's being hugged by a bunch of pleasant things that makes me happy.
