Looks to be about the same height as Conrad's at the sides, but peaked in the center where his is more square. I like them both, but leaning towards Pope's.

What did each of you do for tinting?

I tried to tint my shield using VHT Niteshades but the valve started to sputter and it messed up my nice even coat. I ended up putting three coats on it and pretty much blacked it out instead of tinting.

Same here. But the valve didn't sputter,  I just couldn't get an even coat, so I just kept layering it on till it was fully blacked out.

The MRA Vario shield is about an inch and half shorter than the original 08 shield if that helps. I love mine and the tinted one looks killer.

Sargent.

Yep, it is the Sargent (probably low version)  World Sport Performance Modular with storage pod (unpainted?  mine is).  Exactly what is on my bike (I have the heated option with infinitely variable remote thermostat).  Have been very pleased with the design and quality.
