I bought one this year (a Schroth) at 30°. Takes seconds to get used to it. Visibility barely reduced (can't quite turn my head as far as before, but only a problem manouevering in the paddock.
It's actually improved comfort - I can get the belts tighter than before, and the HANS device stops the 'sharp' edges of the shoulder straps from rubbing.
It might save your life. I don't think it'll ever make an accident worse.
If you can afford it, and a helmet with HANS posts, then go for it.
