I assume you are thinking of the TC-2000 mich/ach helmet. There is also the 2001 and 2002 versions. Same helmets, different cuts around the ears.
As for the topic about real helmets I personally think a replica is kind of pointless, sure it gives you the look but that is about all. A real helmet obviously offers protection for your noggin and you can hang all of the cool gizmos you want off them without fear that they will fall off. Another thing to consider is comfort and fit, there have been numerous people that have bought Chinese replicas and they have been too small.
If you want a real helmet that will be good quality without breaking the bank, I would suggest a Pro-Tec Bravo. If you don't mind spending a little more coin on something more gucci you can get an Ops-core Fast Base Jump. I personally love mine and I think it was worth every penny.
