Talked to APR when ordering my wing...They have the S2000 mounting for all the wings now(200&300). The 300's are made to order. You can get 61" or 67". And, you can get any pedestal height you want.

From the data published on APR's website, the 300 generates the same amount of negative lift @ less AoA than the 200, thus achieving less drag (marginally). You also have the option to ultimetly have more negative lift than the 200 if for some reason down the road your setup would require so. The only draw back that I can see with the 300 over the 200, is the price. I wish I could find some data for other aerofoils available (Voltex...).

That's exactly what I've found so far. The only question is how much downforce do you need?

There can be such thing as over kill, but unless you are running the GTC-300 at zero AoA and still getting more downforce than you need, then it is (according to their CFD ) more efficient than the GTC-200. Or at least more aerodynamically efficient, maybe not monetarily efficient

It also remains to be seen how mounting the wing on a car changes the results from the straight line freestream CFD, and, as you mention, how it compares to other companies' options.
