Default Tall windshield question

I'm 6'3" and sit tall in the saddle. The standard windshield on my EGC is quite short on me by several inches. I'm thinking about getting a tall replacement. Does anyone use one? How does it work? Does it make a difference in the way the bike handles? Any advice is appreciated.

I think it's a matter of preference on how you use your windshield, some riders like to look through the shields and some like to look over. I'm 6' and use a 9" shield. I like a little wind in the face. As far as hight is concerned I've tried a few different ones and it all feels the same to me.
