Default Quadzilla vs. Dead Center...any thoughts?

I'm looking at the detachable fairings from Hoppe (Quadzilla) and Dead Center. The Dead Center Fairings are considerably more expensive. I'm okay paying the extra amount if it's "worth it" in terms of quality. Has anyone here had any experience with either of these products (or both)? What makes the Dead Center fairings more expensive?

Not sure what the difference is on the tech side, but seeing both mounted on bikes the Quad version seems to fit better. The Dead fairing seems to be a slight bit more tilted forward, but then again it could be my eyes.

I'd LOVE to see a comparison article showing the various 3rd party fairings. Hoppe Quadzilla, Dead Center, Tsukayu, and any others.

If not an out & out shootout, at least show each fairing mounted to the same bike for comparison purposes. Discuss ABS vs. fiberglass (weight issues, smoothness for paint), ease of installation, stereo sound quality, etc.

I do not know anything about the other brands but I have the quad and it looks and sounds great and was easy to install. the hd bra fits perfect too.

Would any of thses fairings fit on the street bob? Or are they for FL models only?
I haven't seen any one of these fairings on the FX models, or I've just missed it.
I do have a windshield on mine but was wondering about putting one on for the stereo.
