Default Old vs new trektop : help me decide

Has anyone had first had experience of having the old trektop and now the new trektop nx?

I bought the trektop back when it first came out and I've gotten used to it now. The one thing I'd miss about it if I sold it and got the new style one is that I can roll it back all the way as opposed to just flipping it back...

What would you guys do? Just looking for opinions to help me make my decision here. I really like that it has the latches not the stupid knobs and that the rear side windows come out. Plus it comes with those bows (I had to fab my own to keep water from sagging the top)

Definitely the new version is better. All you have to do is pull a pin on each side and you can roll it back from the sun rider position. The ability to take out all 3 windows in running bikini top mode is fantastic. It's quieter too. I've had both in the last year

Helpful. When you say pull a pin to roll it back from sun rider position are you saying this top CAN roll all tr way back for passenger seats aswell? Happen to have a photo?

The whole top is removable. The sunrider does flip with the release of the 2 latches. The whole top removes by releasing two straps, two springs a bow then lift off the whole top.
