Default LRS Ultra shield or windblade shield?

Anyone have any experience with both? LRS site makes it seem like they both do the exact same function except that the windblade curves in at the edges some to help stabilize the front end at high speeds.

I like the looks of the Ultra and have demo'd a very similar shield...but I ride pretty fast at times and am thinking the downward force might help out.

What says you guys?

I have used the Stealth, the Flattop, and the Ultra. The bike definitely handled better with the Stealth, the added downforce was noticeable (I haven't tried the Windblade, but it is similar in design to the Stealth). I currently run the Ultra. The only reason that I don't still run the Stealth is a seat change made it too short.

The wind blade is a nice shield, does a good job. But I've gone back to my flat top as it does a better job on the wind from the sides.
