My experience:
http://shop.nationalcycle.com/perl/cycle/N2560? A National cycle Street Shield.
The Suzuki screen - 15" tall to the bottom, about 13" above the headlight.
The StreetShield - 17" over the headlight.
My shield was about 4" taller than the Suzuki screen. I am 5'8, probably no more than 2" taller in the saddle than you.
I ride a beanie if I have to, otherwise with the wind in my face. Without the shield I need windproof goggles, with the shield I can ride with mere sunglasses, even no glasses in the city. On tour the wind hit just about my hairline -- wind in my hair, not in my eyes.
If I have to guess, I would guess that on the Suzuzi screen you would have wind in your eyes, but not with the StreenShield.
