I tried them both back to back and they were almost identical. Both fantastic improvement over stock. The tint on the Aeroflow was horrible and was more expensive than the Werks. The Werks was perfectly clear. You do not need the tall one unless you are very tall. I'm 5'10" and with the 24 there is zero air on me when I raise to just below my eyesight. It os so effective that when it gets real hot in the Summer I put the stock shield back on just to get some air
reg: Your last sentence is worth considering. I've had 4 RTs. I bought CeeBaileys for my '05. The flip-up variety (not Euro version) was great. I bought a Tall and a Wide-Tall. The Wide-Tall was great for winter riding. It was absolutely claustrophobic in even 70 degree weather. You got heat from the radiator up around the handlebars/fork, but no air on any part of your body. It was too much. There is such a thing.
Like most people, I do most of my riding in Summer and on nice days in Spring and Fall. When I got the '17 wet-head, I chose an aeroflow tall. It stops buffeting without having to put the screen up even half way, but it allows a nice amount of air on your arms. This really makes a nice riding experience. I don't like helmet buffeting and noise. With this screen, I went 4500 miles on a summer ride to the national rally from Chicago and doing a lot of touring around after. Great experience. I brought earplugs but never felt like I needed to use them. I have a wireless/helmet speaker setup in my Schuberth C3 helmet with updated liner. I didn't need to crank the speakers and I didn't have ringing ears at night after riding all day. It's just a great setup.
I don't have a new RT, so I can't recommend any screen for this bike. Every RT with a new fairing shape is going to behave differently in the wind. One needs to find the right screen and the right seat for every new bike. The main point is that the OP mentioned he wanted "The most protection and no buffeting". All I can say is, there such a thing as too much protection. I only used my Tall-Wide screen for ONE trip per year. That was a ride from Chicago down to Deal's Gap area...on the day after Thanksgiving. This is a serious crazy thing to do some years, but you get the roads practically to yourself when you get down there. We have some stories from those trips.
One other point is crosswinds and buffeting for straight line riding. If you're riding in a crosswind, you will get buffeting. The cure is to scoot yourself on the seat away from the wind while you tilt the bike into the wind. You're sitting sort of on the corner of the seat. The bike is tilting into the wind and you're riding straight. It's balanced and it works. When you're on a long trip, you have a lot of time to practice techniques like this. Cruise control is a real blessing for long trips. I'm not sold on active cruise though. It's a lot of extra complication and it's of limited benefit...It isn't easier, it's just a different skill-set to navigate interstates. I find it nicest in the car on a two-lane where you don't have to worry over people pulling in your lane. Set about 10 mph over the limit and just set the distance. I went back to normal cruise after two cars with active cruise. I don't miss it.
btw, I'm 5'10" with long waist, so I sit about 6' or so. I have my Sargent normal seat set on the high position. It's reasonably comfortable. I'm 70 and did a 680 mile day on the way back from Wyoming....no ear plugs.
