I'd be very surprised to see a 5 kt reduction in stall speed from those VGs. One of the programs I was working on was looking at a micro VG solution to a separation problem with the flaps fully extended. It helped a bit in terms of vibration and roll control, but did nothing to the stall speed. In the end, the idea was scrapped as not worth the trouble.
