My personal feeling is it is just another form of bling. I have no doubt that a car with multiple panels will be faster, but not sure the difference will justify the cost for a mixed use vehicle, (street and track days).

So, is anyone aware of a comparison between the two?
1. In stock form, unlikely.
2. There is no charge for a moon roof in place of the default carbon fiber roof.
