Mr. T has not replied yet so I ordered a Daytona Blaster Barrier windscreen (tinted) from Webike. It should be here next week and total cost with expedite shipping was $149.
I may order the Road Comet with matching colors in the future and sell this one.
I have the Puig 0869N on my 2014. The windscreen touches the gauge cluster, but the pads they provide keep the two from rubbing together. Good, cheap solution.

That's the one I ordered initially but I didn't want to use the pads since they may get displaced and eventually get in contact with the gauge cluster. Also I think the height is a bit too high when compared to the suggested height from other members (~10" above the key).
Thanks for the picture though!
I just rode first time today after installing Puig 7593W and it was quite an improvement. I've read comments on revzilla - where I bought it - about this small screen not stopping wind noise, wind force on helmet etc. I didn't expect that because it's a motorcyle. But it did make the bike much more stable in considerable crosswind today. Engine seemed less labored at 80 and I didn't have feeling that it might just take another direction on elevated, curving interstate overpasses. Definitely an improvement. When I got home didn't fell like had taken a beating. Ear plugs would still be advisable for younger people who can still hear. For 130 dollars it seems like a good place to start. It does not rub instruments although it's very close on R. I can pass card stock through the clearance with no friction. I'll watch for vibration marks and if needed will just put a washer between the mounting foot and fork pinch clamp for a little extra clearance if needed. It's my first add and I'm happy. Have one subtraction of a sissy bar combined with luggage rack that removed before first ride because it was butt ugly. I bought this 2014 base model in march with 940 miles by first owner who decided he needed a BMW.

Update:
I received the Daytona windscreen today. Shipping was pretty fast with express option (FedEx).
It's very well made, I like it!
I did a preliminary install (my headlight is not installed because I am working on the GPS wiring and can't find the connector that I purchased over a year ago so ended up ordering another one) and to avoid touching the instruments you have to mount it a little bit forward. I measured from key to top of windscreen and it's 9.5".
I will post pictures next week once I get the GPS wiring done.

Definitely keep us updated on the screen. I am thinking about getting one depending on how it works for you.
