Ok, it's obvious that you are happy with what you have and that's good.

I actually liked the coverage of the shield you've got (What's the height?) but I certainly wouldn't mount it EITHER at 45 degrees OR at 0 degrees. The fact is that every bike shield ever made works best at a slight angle......somewhere between 0 and 45 back from vertical. On some, this "rake" is part of the profile but on most it's a matter of how it is mounted. Yours might work even better at a SLIGHT angle.

I got the impression from you that (with the present mount points) more tilt would be difficult to achieve and that one fact turned me off to it. My understanding of that may be in error; if a 15-20 degree tilt could be easily accomplished, I would be seriously interested.
