I saw this style of pop top on a 70-series that a Swiss fellow was driving around Oz in, up FNQ way somewhere. It's one of those things; on some nights it would be tremendous, on some nights it would be awful. On a bad night you could leave the front lid closed - but they've lifted the bed platform to best take advantage of the new opening, meaning that the headroom is worse than a normal pop top with it shut...
...but on a clear night by the beach
I still reckon the best design is a side fold-over unit. My Trayon has an extraordinary amount of room in it. A member here who had a Trayon has done a fantastic job converting his 130 using the same approach - 130 Station Wagon with side fold pop top build.
This allows so much more room inside than a regular pop-top, with either double the sleeping area, or the ability to have heaps of standing room and double bed. Plus, when open you have an awning.
I tend to wonder if the second best design is the simple pop-top without the front hinge, like the old troopy we owned. Plenty of room in that also, but maybe the front hinge design is stronger or something?
Not sure about that...you lose a lot of roof rack space for the sake of having your heads at the front.
The only thing I dislike about my Pop Top...the Mulgo design, is the lack of room at the front, but I spend little time up there awake anyway, I simply push the sleeping platform up and I've got a huge amount of room in the cabin.

There is never one camping setup that is 100% on the money.....
Our Mulgo best suits us for the time being although footspace is just enough for 6’1”, we just need to work out weather proofing between 270 awning and back door.
We plan to some gear at the front off our roof rack which we wouldn’t be able to do on the one above.
The one above also introduces potential leak straight into sleeping area.
Either way it Land an option.........
On our trip last weekend we drove until we’re tired (had a lot of k’s to knock over) within 30sec of pulling up we pulled the match sticks from under our eyelids and were in bed and didn’t even have to get out of the defender.

This site has given me an idea for a part external roll cage for a Poptop ......might shoot an email to shingleback offroad.
