I have experience with both and I would pick the ops-core because of it's comfort. Now that doesn't really answer the question of "is the ops-core worth the extra money?" What I would say is yes if you are willing to spend that extra almost $200 for because it is worth the price, and no if you aren't willing to.
The protech is a great helmet for what it costs and if you just need a helmet that does it's job, the protech is great for that. If you want a comfortable helmet with all the bells and whistles the ops-core is the obvious winner.
