Motorcycle camera differences

So after my first wreck, which came right after one of my closest near accidents by some idiot truck driver, I would like to get a helmet mounted camera to document my eventual demise, but I could use some advice/reviews. I am looking at either a gopro Hero3, or a Contour ROAM. I like the package of the contour alot better than the go pro, I think it will sit alot more flush against my helmet, and it is waterproof without a case on it. I haven't really used any of these sports cameras, so I don't really know which are easier then others. If anyone has used both, I'd love to hear your comments about the differences. Anyway, I'd love to hear what the main features are that you guys love or hate on each one.

Some of the things that stand out to me are:
the Contour cameras have a nicer package, more flush mount on a helmet
The Contours are waterproof without the dive case.
The accessories seem to be about the same price, like for additional helmet mounts, bar mounts, etc.
The Contour ROAM is alot cheaper, though I may be comparing different model years.

What other differences do you guys think should influence my choice?
