Fair enough - when you start lending kit to family members it's always a great excuse to get something else for yourself.
I have a selection of helmets that I can now justify as being necessary for when the kids and the wife want to come climbing!
In recent winters I've thought a lot about how maybe I had been kidding myself that monos made any difference to my ice climbing, but then decided it actually depended on when during the winter you climb and what the temp was. Cold (which were I lived meant -15 and below) and new 'bottle ice', then monos help. Warmer, and mid to late season ice, my G12s seemed to work just as well. But then climbing back in the UK this past winter, I decided monos work well on UK mixed even at my middling grades (I did up to tech 6 - although only by mistake mixing pitches up!).
I suspect that you'll be happy with any of the modern modular designs - I think the biggest thing is the clever new binding designs that make them fit loads of different boots - either full step in or semi-. I wouldn't recommend these for the UK
http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=6227 because of their aluminium body (although they did me fine for a day on Great End in the Lakes back in March) but the bindings are great for fitting a range of boots. Edelrid make a standard steel version which may well be worth considering!
