Quarter Fairing Question - Advice Needed

Well, I held out until now but I've decided I want to reduce some of the wind on my stomach and chest on long rides. My question for all of you out there who use a quarter fairing is... Is it worth the investment of a few hundred bucks or is does it not make a noticeable difference? I'm 6'4" and I'm perfectly fine with the wind in my face and I'm not even considering a windshield. My hope is that a fairing will do the trick for my stomach and chest. Any feedback from those of you out there that can contribute will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm 6'3". The HD 1/4 fairing works great for me. Keeps the wind of my body. My head is still in the wind, minimal buffeting. I can ride 200+ miles without having to take a break.
