Default Air Cleaner difference?

Is there much difference between a stage I and a stage II air cleaner? Looking to get a stage 2 big sucker for my wifes 883; current setup V&H SS, Fuel Pack...

Thanks for the inputs
Rick

By my math, the difference between Stage I and Stage II is exactly I.

I had a Arlen Ness big sucker II and the only difference is the filter element itself . It flares out where the outside of the filter is larger than where it sits on the inner plate.
