Why a molded canopy instead of free-blown?

I’ve chosen to design the HP-24 forward fuselage around a stretch molded canopy so that I can achieve the same level of fit and finish as the european racers. I have seen many free-blown canopies, both for original installations and for retrofits. None of them has ever met the level of profile continuity that you get consistently and repeatably from a molded canopy.
