Default New S50 and engine guards: Y or N

About to pick up the new toy and am at the decision point:

Engine guards - Y or N (looking at the MCE ones...) If yes, should I let the dealer put them on at 30% higher than the cost then I can get online and then install myself. Are they hard to install? Experience wise, I have done alot of car work, but never any on a bike. Have assembled snow-blowers/grills from scratch in the past. Actually have 2 torque wrenches....

Talked to lots of folks. People are divided as am I. Also not sure how the bike will look. Definitely don't want the elephant ear look...

What do you think?
