I know that I've only ever owned Snell helmets, wear a size Medium (properly sized), and have crash tested no small number of helmets. I've never even had so much as a concussion, seen spots/stars or suffered for any other head/brain issues. Granted, I've never hit anything other than the ground (pavement, gravel, dirt, etc...), but I've no issues with Snell ratings. It's an academic thing to me, people pissing and moaning over a half of a percent difference somewhere.

I have an HJC that I never wear because it's too bulky, a Scorpion as a backup and a Shoei for everyday riding. I went down in my last Shoei, picked up a concussion but I'm told I hit the ground and guardrail pretty hard (I don't remember any of this lol), but otherwise was just fine. I bought a Shoei to replace it since the insurance company was paying and I figured, the Shoei saved me once, I'll go with what I KNOW works..!
