I think the others have given you pretty much the points to consider in making your decision. I'll add but 1 thing for your amusement. I wonder why nobody has created a pop top for a bowrider. I can envision a collapsable framework running along the forward gunwales that could be dropped or erected like an auto convertable top. Add in a zippered or snap top and thne side curtains (mosquito netting plus privacy/light stopping) and you could have both a bowrider and a (canvas) cuddy ! Drop the top and it's a bowrider w/the forward cover on. Remove the top and it's a bowrider. Pop the top and close the curtains and you've got your cuddy. Hmmm, 'scuse me while I stroll to the patent office ...
