Default Helmet recommendation for "conehead"

I am considering to buy a new helmet because my current helmet sits quite high on my head: there is
almost an inch between my ears and the helmet. I don't think that the helmet is too small, because
it doesn't feel tight when I'm wearing it and I can insert a finger several centimeters between the
back of my head and the helmet (this was something that I discovered after I bought the helmet). The
helmet I have is a large (58-61cm) Bell (I think the model is called Forza 2 Pro). Are there any
other brands that might fit a tall head better than my Bell?

TIA, Per D. Sørensen

Try a Giro, I had similar problem with Bell.
