The 4000 and 852 are different helmets so that's a choice you make on your own. I have an 1Xcel straight cut visor but it keeps moving up on me upon contact. If you're playing contact hockey, go with the Itech. I like how clear the 1Xcel/Oakley visors are.

The helmets fit differently, so get the one that fits your head shape.

I like the optics on my Oakley better than my previous Itech. I prefer the certified version as well. There was a recent discussion for someone looking for help with choosing a visor:

How about whatever helmet will best fit your head and provide the best protection for the type of game that you play. And for a visor the one that will not impair your vision and at the same time protect your eyes. Safety and protection is key in this case rather than what so-and-so are wearing.

personally, I like the HX-50 that they use in the Q. Good for vision, no distortion, doesn't fog up easily and the replacements are cheap. 2 for $45? Not bad in comparison to $100 for a new oakley visor. The only downside I have is that the housing weighs a bit heavier on it but you get used to it after like 1 game. Not bad.
