This is pretty much my decision when I thought about them too. My Burley Canto has to use a remote fairing mast (like anyone with a crank ahead of the handlebars). I had extra money this winter. I
almost bought one. But after my wife lost her job, I could not justify that much money for an accessory of around $600.
