I like the fly bridge as well to navigate from because of the unobstructed visibility. As a rule I will come into a marina on the flybridge and finish my docking manuvers at the lower helm because I do have a better feel of the boat and so I can go out onto the deck if needed to give an extra hand.

The main problem I have with no flybridge is poor visibility on a good day much less on a bad rain and salt spray day on cabin windows. Having another helm option in a sticky situation is priceless!

Consider this, if you have a fly bridge you don't have to use it. However if you need it it is there and the price difference really should not be much of a factor.

Best of luck how ever you choose!
