In general, helms in games (all games in my memory - and I played my first CRPG in 1985....) are just ICK. Find a really cool circlet and enchant it with something beneficial. MUCH nicer IMO.
I just wish the game wouldn't grant such great rewards for wearing all heavy or light armour, and all of the same kind. Really makes you feel obligated to wear a full set just so that the game can render slightly more easily.
I haven't noticed any difference in the game with "mismatched" armor as opposed to "all same sort". But yes, a "no display" option for helms would be good. WoW does it... thank goddess.

If you max smith instead of the heavy/light armor tree (heavy final perk is absolutely pointless), you can hit the cap easily without helm. This is one of the plus points of the AES system.
