After having both, the easy-up is better than the lift a dots, but the real winner was the Simmonds’s hood on the Plus 8 which we had for over twenty years.
Yep, the Simmonds hood is great in terms of water-tightness, but I do find it a bit of a pain at higher speeds in the wet, I get a lot of wind noise from the clips over about 50mph. The ideal would be something that had the Simmonds U channel but with internal clips to hold it down.
