I think the only Westy part is the pop-top.  I think the only other 
difference is the cooler seat. between the Weekender and the MV.  Well 
screens on the sliding windows.

I'll second the enthusiasm but for my MV non Weekender version.  You lose 
out on the rear capartment over A/C with the pop-top I guess as well.  
Depends upon how much you need the A/C in the back.

That aqua is nice...

The MV is among the best I've been in.  The other is an older Westy.
