Thinking about buying one of these, has anyone got one or have any thoughts on it?

Somebody on this site bought their new wee with one and wasn't impressed IIRC. Road tests seemed to concur that the new screen doesn't really need one / very little improvement. Proviso being that the helmet, their size etc etc are variables.

A laminar lip would have to provide a big improvement for me to run one. I hate the way it looks.

I had the Suzuki touring screen that was not much better thab the standard screen. This is a whole new ballgame because the hinges that hold the lip are far more adjustable. I'd give it a punt if I still had my wee.

...not unless you gave up a 2012 model already.
