Default Memphis Fats or Sportshield?

So I've decided to get a Windshield to make riding in the highway more comfortable and so I can ride farther in the hill country. For a couple different reasons, I’ve decided to go with a Memphis Shades windshield. So should I go with something like a touring style like the Memphis Fats or something smaller like a sportshield?

I have a Memphis Shades Rio Grande which is the largest of their sportshields. It works well for me and I like the way it looks.

My Rio Grande works pretty good for me. It could be a bit bigger for my size (6'2"), but I wouldn't like the look of a bigger shield. It doesn't block alot of wind from my face, but it takes all the wind off my chest which is the main reason I got it. I only use it for long rides or cold weather.

I've got the Rio Grande sport shield and it's big enough to do the job. I wouldn't want anything bigger.

The Rio Grande is the one I'm considering. If it takes the wind off the body and not the face, does it direct all the wind up to your face or does most of it run off the sides of the windshield?

Also, you're bikes all look good with the sportshields.
