Current Towers - Opinions ?

What do you think of the current lot of towers available on the latest boats?

What is your favorite? Or, least favorite?

Style? Form? Function?

Folding issues?
Boat entry issues?
Rope issues?
Board rack option issues?
Bimini option issues?

What is the current opinion on the latest BU tower?
Initially, I hated it, but it is starting to grow on me. But, I am wondering about the issues above.

Someone's photo snarfed...

The BU tower is really growing on Me too but You can't beat the Monster for the $$ and the way it folds up.
There was a all black BU with the new tower @ My home lake and it looked really sweet but I bet it would be a MoFo to keep clean.

i have a friend who has the new BU tower and i hate it, when you turn the rope goes and gets stuck under the board rack or in your boots, it is a terrible design.

Can anyone photo shop a new MC tower on a SAN?

Matt, thanks for the info. Is this the latest malibu tower with the further back pull point?

That Bu has the new tower (name escapes me, blade?) that is made from carbon fiber. Notice the speakers are internal to the tower design, do not hang down. Never seen one in person.

Some towers seam to allow more headroom than others. Looks like the new MC towers are going to be taller, more room for speakers, etc.

Doesn't the Malibu tower kinda get in the way when loading people and stuff in and out of the boat across the gunwales? Anyone know. I've never been up close to the reverse tower design.
