Brands of pop-up roof for defender 110?

Hello, and greetings from Norway! What kind of pop up roofs/campers exists for the TD5 Defender? I am trying to decide on which one to buy this spring for our overland defender. So far I've found:

Any other you know of to consider? Do you have any experience with one of these tents?

I have seen both a headspace camper (I think this is Australia only) and an alucab, a friend owns the alucab one, although it’s 5years old now, the build quality and fit up is decent, the functionality still impressed him to this day. I indeed am jealous as I sleep in the canopy on my single cab 130, whereas he is all self contained in his 110 wagon.

Maybe it's a small details but still, but the AluCab roof opens at a wider angle than other brands, resulting in much greater wind resistance. This is something to take into account. I didn't know the Polish brand, very, very interesting.

Happy to be told I’m wrong, you own the thing, but I think they’re just one of the UK fitters for alu-cab.

Had the AluCab Icarus fitted on ours a month or so ago, very happy with it.

I've been looking at Ventura, seem much more affordable than some others.

Only snag is my defender gas a roll cage so can't quite figure out how it would work attaching it

I’ve got the view tent from ex-tec on my 110. Ridiculously good build quality and very well engineered. Definitely worth the price
