Electric roof vs Beach roof

Would go manual anytime. Not just reliability, but I open close the tent in seconds. In storms, no bungees, no other person runnin around.
I manually drag and head stays inside, visually checking each fabric part folding properly.
Last thing that was very useful, I could half open the tent in the garage for drying. The top was just pushing against the ceiling. Not sure if you can do it with electric.
I have no bungee, I don't need anyone running around looking if the tent is folding the right direction, I can do that too with my head inside and looking. Never had any issues with that.
I can open my hydraulic roof to any height I desire, even without touching the ceiling.
The only thing I have now is that I am going to change the hydraulic pump because of internal leakage.
Never had any other problems with it in 10 years, so would definately go for hydraulic roof again.

But that is each for his own.
