Yes, almost the same, except the ship is still visible
to outside viewers. Think of the Flying Dutchman ghost
ship when you try to use a ghost helm in a game.

I think that one unique helm per crystal sphere is
adequate. You have to remember, most unique helms are
story driven and maybe even involving a whole campaign
session. The majority of the unique helms are not
meant to be kept by the PC, but most have to be
destroyed, if evil, or must be returned to the
original owners. The helms might not survive removal
from the ship or damage caused by battles.

I am just sharing ideas with other people. Unique
helms should be used with moderation and must be a
part of the story for all to enjoy. You are right
seeing 20 unique helms can be too much in one game or
campaign session.
