I got fed up with the standard screen and I ordered this http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products?detail=product&id=001735&bk=004374 after about a week of waiting and I love it! I ordered the dark tint to cancel out the slight extra geekiness of having a massive screen! They even included screen trim (which is a pain as I'd already bought some to use).
The first problem was picking it up from the delivery company as it was too big to go in my rucksack so I ended up installing it using a penknife, screwdriver and stock spanner outside the delivery company at about 6pm. This wasn't too hard after I discovered each hole needed widening a little bit to get the rubber jobbies in. All the stock fittings fitted witout too much forcing and it went on it under an hour (being in mind it was night and I was working by torchlight AND I had to remove the instruments to get to the bottom fixings. Once I'd put the new one on the bike I could get the smaller, older one into my rucksack! 
On the way home I could instantly tell the difference. There seemed to be more windnoise but there was no wind hitting me below the helmet even when sat up straight (I'm 5'8" for a point of reference). When crouched normally it pretty much all goes over me but I can still see over the windscreen so the tinting isn't likely to be a problem. I found myself riding at higher speeds as I wasn't being hit in the chest at 60mph!
Overall I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it. Build quality is good and I love the curviness from the side. Only negative is it doesn't fit perfectly at the top of the fairing but this may be because the top two screen bolts I'm using are different to the rest (no idea why).
My other option was an Airblade double bubble screen which looked like it would look better but not do such a good job of keeping the wind off my chest. It's here.
