The GT3/Touring and RS are totally different monsters. The aero work on the RS brings it to next-level, it's slower in top speed and in a straight line, making ungodly amounts of downforce, not to mention the suspension and everything is all set up for racing. This is a race car you can drive to the track, but not an everyday car by any stretch. I for one would never consider this car, unless I had a track available, the money for all the spares and support, and so on, to take advantage of it. I'd be pretty far into track racing at that point, but that's the point of the car...that and the people that buy it just to look at it or lock it up in a bar-essentially.
The GT3/Touring is far more appropriate for everything outside of straight track duty. To that extent, putting the RS wing on would be pretty ridiculous, since they are missing all the other extra aero work that works in conjunction with it. I'm not sure what the draw of that would be, except to reduce your visibility and stick on an erector-set on the car.
People get way to drawn into the "highest spec" of a car usually...when it's not the highest practical spec that can be driven day to day. Of course, everyone that owns one always claims, whether it's a NASCAR or F1 formula, that "it's not bad on normal roads", but in reality the highest spec race-cars are intended to put down the fast time around a track as the number 1 priority, so I don't even see these cars as legit eye-candy. They are purposeful and there is respect there, but in no way am I ever interested in these, because there's nothing I could do with it unless a whole bunch of other conditions existed first (like access to a decent track, etc.).
