The $15 Amazon unit is totally worth it, the name brand touring screen is overpriced in comparison.

Kind of depends on how tall you are. It will definitely change the way the wind hits you. Impossible to say whether you'll perceive that as a positive or a negative. For example, it might take the wind off your chest but put it right at the base of your helmet, increasing buffeting and noise. Kind of depends on how you position yourself (do you tuck or continue to sit upright on the highway?) and how tall you are.
FWIW I put one on my Ninjette, but haven't bothered on my GSX-R.

No dude, double bubble won't do anything.
If you want a good wind protection, you should buy a roof shield made by Aoi Inc. from Japan. http://aioinc.jp

I have the amazon knock off as well and I like it. Definitely worth it.

I too have the Amazon knockoff. I'm 6'1", and mostly ride upright. It took the wind off my chest and now it hits around base of my helmet. It's not preferred, but better than it was. If you go this route, also a good time to invest in some new rubber well nuts and bolts. I elected for anondized black screws, cheap eBay purchase.
