The blade type is much more effective, might not look as cool but it's all in the functionality for me.
You're probably right . The spoiler on my vehicle is more or less a styling touch. However, for the type of driving that I do, it hasn't detracted from the vehicle's handling capability; especially when compared to the oem set-up.
