I thought I saw a post last year where someone said that opening and closing the bimini on the QX cladded arch is a pain (I thought he/she referenced something to do with the design).

Curious on thoughts for anyone with the QX power cladded arch -- if you were buying a new one would you spring for the electric arch power bimini or stay with manual?
 
I previously had a fixed arch on a 23 RCW SA .
It looked great but added too much weight .
On my 2020 QCW I had a power bimini . In the closed position ( we never opened the bimini on any of our boats ) ,my wife and I thought it rattled too much at higher speeds
 
Thanks for the feedback!
 
Different point of view here. We usually open the bimini and leave open when using the boat. We had a manual version that I replaced with an aftermarket powered version. Installed by myself. Slightly smaller coverage area , but we would never go back to manual. Too convenient to just hit a buttton !
 
I have a more basic curved power bimini (no arch). Much cheaper so maybe not fair feedback as the price mentioned above seems incredibly high. However, I would never go to a manual bimini again. Push button up and down - yes please. Just so easy and convenient. However, again, this is for a normal curved power Bimini on a SXP model that is a fraction of the cost of the cladded arch power bimini on a Q series.
 
Not a single problem last year with my new Bennington Power Bimini. I have a covered boat lift so it goes up and down very often.
 
My double Bimini is up all season, when adjusted right and having the cable stays - no issues even at WOT.
