The Robbins are twice as much, they also have a Tickford for $300.00

It's one of those things, if it cost more it must be better !

WRONG most of the time
But I don't know

Can't comment on Robbins, but I can comment on Crown, as I've got one.  It
was cheap, and it kinda shows.  It's not dead straight, the windows look
kinda glued on (their welded actually).  Didn't come with enough snaps, and
they weren't the right type.  The section of snaps that go around the top
frame can't, they aren't even close on the rearmost ones.  After waiting
weeks, I've come to admit the top will never smooth out on back.  It has
more straps and flaps then I could ever figure out.  No instructions.  

There are good points though, The vinyl itself is good, the cloth backing
under it is also good.  The plastic windows are of good quality.  The price
is good ($115, shipping included).

Would I buy one again?  Probably not.
