I've never seen one of those. Our 'van has a pop top, but it lifts sideways. If you intend to camp in lots of hot weather, then it might be nice to open the roof somewhat, certainly ours gets hot despite the net window. But then you risk getting lots more insects in.....
Also depends on the price difference.
I like the look of the scenic, if heading for warmer climates would definitely choose it but just in the UK not sure how much it would be used. We gave a pop top and front has a panel that zips out but gave to say we rarely remove it.
