Default Need help with which soft top to get

I found many threads on soft tops but I didn't find one that helps me decide.
From tons of research I'm going with BesTop but this is where my problem lies. I, like many others, plan on running a soft top during the warmer season for easy drop but I also want something that gives good covered cargo space. My wife, son, and myself are going to Florida and taking the JKU is the most exciting part on my end. So here is the issue. I'm sold on the Twill tops due to their durability, but the Pro top has the squared off back like the hard top but I love the look of the NX. Can someone tell me how much cargo space you loose with the NX's "Turtle Shell", and if any of you all chose the Pro over the NX for this reason?
Thanks y'all!

I have the old trektop classic fastback on my 07 2 door and the loss of cargo space is noticeable but not too bad. I often load a full drum kit in my 2 door and there isn't much difference in available space between the two tops (some may say otherwise). The big thing to remember with the soft tops is the pesky tailgate bar

With the hardtop you have the hydraulic glass part about the tailgate but with most soft tops you have a bar that clips to the body on each side to hold down the back window. I my softop it's a pain to take on and off but the new technology may be better.

You can get the NX in twill and the NX Pro twill with the hard windows.

The NX Pro, with removable windows, and glass liftgate (also removable) means added security over regular soft top, and the rear glass lift gate makes getting stuff in and out of Cargo area much easier. The sides and rear lift gate removed would give open air feeling, with protection from hot summer sun too.
As a dog owner, this really appeals to me, easy in and out for all.

The more I dig into tops I'm leaning more towards Supertop NX Twill due to the configurations it has.
Thanks for all the input y'all. I'm about 2w out so I'm still wanting more from y'all!
