Let's not leap to conclusions, any extra weight is actually an increase in down force. As the NA wing has a motor and a mechanism the weight is probably about the same though.

The surface area will directly affect the down force in the same air flow and at the same angle of attack. The fixed wing at any speed will lessen the possible fuel economy.

If you fit your average sized passenger in the trunk you will have no need for any wing.
