Default Screaming Eagle or K&N?

I'm upgrading my 2007 883L and I don't know which air filter to choose - which will give me more bang for my buck, the Screaming Eagle or K&N Air Filter?
Also, is there a way to make the Power Commander V work with my 2007 Sporty? The website says that the Power Commander III is the one for my bike, but the V has more capabilities and is smaller for around the same price.
Thanks in advance!

I have a PC5 on my 07 and it works great, either AC will probably flow more air than your engine can handle so it really doesn't matter, go with what you like the looks of.
I went with the Hurricane Flow AC, it comes with a K&N & is a very high quality all metal AC.

I've had both air filters. Like the K&N better.

I put K&N filter in my old shadow, and such a difference over stock. I put K&N filters in all my vehicles, i get better throttle response and better fuel economy granted I take it easy on the cash pedal.haha
