I would get another closed cab. There are a few drawbacks but I think the benefits outweigh them. My FIL advised an open ROPS mentioning it's a pain, particularly when getting in and out a lot, to have to open doors to get out and I understand that but it's not that big of a pain. I think a major benefit is it extends the usage season also, even if heat and a/c doesn't work it's much more reasonable to use when it starts getting cold out. I did notice, over this summer, that it'd be nice to hard wire a fan in (or maybe plug one into the cig. lighter hole that I think mine has) as even though you can open it up well sometimes the wind doesn't blow through that nicely and it gets sweaty. The only other drawback I see is keeping windows clean. The open cab does indeed get you more in tune with the machine and the work but I think you can adjust well with glass around.
Also, I totally agree with Tinkerer that you won't know a branch above you fell until it hits. Similar to a sonic boom you don't expect... For me, in this instance, I saw the wooden rain of small dead tree parts, which I expected, then next thing I knew I hear a boom and I'm covered in glass. Uh, for what it's worth safety glass is nice and shatters well but will still slice you up, especially if it goes down a couple layers of shirt and jackets...
