Eric,
I agonized over the decision for a long time and ended up getting the Monster Tower for my Nautique. I am very happy with the tower and I think it looks very good with the lines of the boat. Many of the installs of Monster Towers look like afterthoughts caused from mounting the tower too far forward in front of the windshield or using the wrong finish. You will notice that most factory towers do not interfere with the boat's lines by going in front of the windshield.
A folding tower is great for many reasons especially one that folds as flat as the Monster. I also feel that the color of the tower plays a big part in how it looks on the boat. Mine is black, matching the windshield trim, dash and ski pylon. Even of my most critical friends have given me positive feedback about the tower.
Judge for yourself:
