    I think LB calls that the Gypsy top style.

    It looks good, no doubt about it, but I thought that style would impinge on the side view looking out so opted for the more open appearance.
    .

    Not quite - yours fastens 4 to 6 behind the bow, the gypsy fastens at the bow, but it is still cut the same way. What I'm describing that I have had my upholsterer do was to make it have the same rounded shape as a cabriolet.

    I don't think I'll have a visibility problem - I'm 6'4" and have Glide seats that will allow me a good sight position

    See the Bop Top picture attached - this is the approximate configuation I have with L-B hardware. Also, attached is a photo of the interior - w/o seats.
