Eriba 630 rooftop bed

I am about to buy a 630 and would like to hear views on whether there are any significant disadvantages (other than cost) to having the roof top bed. I don't really need it although it would be useful occasionally. This would be my first Eriba.

It makes the van slightly taller when down and to my eyes looks odd. I also don't think I'd like to be in the top during poor weather.
To me the big advantage is you get rid of the Truma gas heater and get a nice Combi unit, but I believe you have to pay extra for the dual fuel CombiE.
If you are after an occasional bed for grandchildren, an alternative would be a pup tent. Our boys loved them and the "own space" it gave them. We liked the privacy we got and it would also be a few thousand pounds cheaper.

Thanks Colin

If I were speccing from scratch, I probably wouldn't go for the sleeping roof, but I am trying to choose from what seems to be current stock which means of aiming for the best compromise of spec / price etc. All the vans with an awning also have the roof bed hence my question. I know I could retrofit an awning or buy a Shadow, but that would just about remove the price differential.
