Are you after better appearance or better protection?
As far as appearance goes, I have the HD quick detach Super Sport windshield & love it.
It comes in either 16" or 19" & I have the 19" on my FXDC. I've had the windshield you have on my Sporty, but didn't care for the looks. The SS windshield doesn't have all the bracing and is a more minimalistic look as opposed to the compact windshield. It provides about the same protection as the compact, but looks a lot better IMO....might look into it if appearance is what you're after.

If you're wanting protection, get the touring windshield.

Agreed to the above. Put a SS 16" on my Fat Bob, what a mistake. Severe buffeting, minimal protection. Get the touring or none at all. YMMV
