I think SA is the one with the fireproof liner, or is it SN?
Anyway, most places will accept the M2000, the fireproof lined S_2000 is only required for professional class racing or alcohol fueled cars.
Watch eBay, I got a brandy new Simpson Voyager for less than have what a new one goes for. Search for Simpson and keep checking back. There's some pretty nice ones on there. Just make sure you measure correctly. My Simpson is snug and I measured more than once.

Better yet go to your local speed shop and try a couple on to get your size right.
They should be a little snug though.
You are right about the numbers though. The more expensive helmets have the Nomex lining which is required in certain classes including the alcohol fueled class.
HTH!

check the bike shops. Most have "previously worn" helmets for sale as they don't like to sell "used" helmets. I got one for $50
The SA2000 do have the Nomex liner compared to the nylon one in the M2000. Craig, if you are going to be up near Hanover Park anytime soon, check out DRE, Inc. You can give them a call at 630-213-1010. They have good prices and great service. They always have alot of helmets in stock. This is where I bought the wifes helmet. They will make sure that the helmet you buy fits properly and is what you need. HTH.

Got mine from these folks, easy to deal with.
Wish I bought the Bell however and not a Chinese GeForce model.
