In the PinkBike video, they mentioned that the full-face helmets didn’t perform as well in at least the rotational impact tests due to their higher mass and moment of angular momentum.
I think it always ends up being a bit of a trade-off, depending on the types of riding and impacts expected. In a low-speed impact to the side of the head a regular bicycle helmet will often do better than a big heavy motorcycle one. Obviously the opposite is true for a motorcycle crash at 80 km/h.
