Windshield Wanderings?

Most of the time the lack of a windshield does not bother me, however on the occasional upwind freeway blast at less than 30 degrees F, it can be quite brisk.
I've been looking at the options; here's what I see so far:
From ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FLY-SCREEN-NAKED-PUIG-KTM-690-SUPERMOTO-SM-C-07-13-dark-smoke-/181280651331?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2a352b3843
Kind of neat looking, for the SMC - looks like it would work $L72.70 whatever that is.
KTM Twins:
http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-690-parts/ktm-690-enduro-parts?product_category=525
Reasonable price $64.99, a little more angular, but probably the front runner - there is a video on youtube that shows the install.
Tourtech:
http://shop.touratech.com/windscreen-ktm-690-enduro-and-ktm-690-enduro-r-from-2012.html
$94.40 Euro
One more from Australia -

- kind of a strange looking tall screen. Not sure on the price.
Anyone tried any of these or know of any others?

I've never had a wind screen, except a full fairing on a 860 Ducati.
I got the one on your KTMtwins link fro Munn's Racing in Waco (KTM of Texas) for $64.03 inc. tax & fright. Had it next day.
I like it!

I installed the KTMtwins windshield; pictures below - also installed the Nelson-Riggs 'narrow' adventure tank bag.
It really doesn't add much height, but I do like the way it shrouds the instruments.

So I bought one awhile ago when I was drunk... found it on my doorstep a couple days later, and was like, "Where'd this come from?" So I put it on and realized it don't help much with the wind deflection. It does help you see the instrument cluster better and It's pretty sick looking IMO.
