Thay have had a look at both and say that the lip as mentioned earlier is not good - a simple test we did was to dremmel it off on my friend's one and it did work; but not sure if that was phsycological or proper improvement.
I can notice the difference of the TCR one over the standard one, however I am yet to try it on my new car to compare to the Tamiya ones. However, the F1 engineers also said the fins along the elements help with straight line stability and the twin element design also helps channel the air to the correct place.

Just thought I would chime in, they currently have my complete car there to have a look at and try to improve the aerodynamics so will see what they come up with.
