I've been camped in high winds where it would have been impossible to
deploy the 'straight up' design. The hinged lid design works fine until the
wind shifts. The high tops rule in these conditions. There is much to love
in all these designs, though some work better in one environment or
another. The thing to do is get one of each. I have the high top, tin top
and pop top, so one more to go!
