Is using positioning the mic on a Scala Rider on a flip face helmet - particularly Shoei Multitech- a pain?

I want to order a Cardo Scala Rider G4 but when I look at videos on installing it the mic looks like it will be a problem. I can't find a flip face video but on the full face helmet it looks like the mic must be re-positioned each time you put the helmet on. I can't visualize how I could open my helmet without pulling the mic back first and then when I close it putting it back.

If you are using this communicator with a flip face - how does it work out for you?

I have the Sena and I can open the helmet without touching the mic, but on lowering the faceshield portion I have to put the mic on my mouth, and holding the stem of the mic with my left hand, lower the faceshield into place, then I have to reposition the mic.  A pita, but having done it so many times it has become 2nd nature to me and I don't even realize I am doing it.

That is what I was thinking I would have to do.  Sad
Are there any quality bluetooth headsets that allow me to place the mic inside my helmet?

Scala has a option for a corded mike on their G4 headset, (don't have one)With the corded mike you could attach it right to the Helmet!

I found the G4 at http://www.revzilla.com/product/cardo-scala-rider-g4 at a price I can afford.
But then I would have to buy the "wired option" to go with it. Right?
I really like the idea of bluetooth but all I really want is to hear my GPS and MP3 player.
