Road Comet Fairing

What a timely thread and open door for my questions . I've been considering an RC2, but it's a significant chunk of change for something that can't be returned. With the caveat that I have wrung out the search field looking for this info and ended up more confused than clarified, can the current RC2 users confirm the following?

-Does the RC2 actually have some decent performance when it comes to taking the wind off your torso while leaving your head in clean air? I had a lousy experience with the highly rated NC Deflector and could never find a sweet spot that didn't "blow". Buffeting and noise were all beyond what I would consider a good trade for the protection I received.

-The touring shield provides better coverage, but is buffeting/wind noise increased? Would you consider the performance over the standard screen worth the $$?

I really don't mind the wind at normal highway speeds, but throw in a headwind, and I really start wishing I had some cover.

My specs if it matters: 5' 9", 30" inseam.
