Everyone is wrong
Everything that has been posted is simply personal opinion.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both canopies.
You will have to look at the pro's and con's to each and make your choice.
Then go sit in each, better yet, beg for a ride in each. Then start building what YOU want, not what others want you to build.
In my case, I didn't want any type of canopy bow to look through, around, etc. thus the tipper.
Others are correct, I have spent a lot of time flying antiques and you do get used to having those bars, wires, etc. in your FOV. However, on one of my first flights with my wife I reached up to point at something to her while flying in the mountains and hit, I mean smacked my hand on the canopy. It was such shock to realize there I was up in the air, flying in a big bubble with nothing obscuring my view.
