Default Comparison of Motorized Garage Screens

I don't want to start a debate about motorized vs non Motorized PLEASE.

However I am wondering if anyone can advise me on pros and cons of a system like Thumpers Garage screens (These use rails like your existing garage door) vs Michelle's Hideaway roll up screen that are self contained. I like the look of Michelle's but is there any reason I would want the kind that Thumpers installs?

One question, Do your have a service door off your garage?
If not, stay away from any roll up door.

We are very happy with our overhead garage screen from cool breeze. Almost never use the garage door anymore. I wish it came with a better remote control, but otherwise great.

Cool Breeze did my last home 10 years ago, still perfect. Just had him install a new rollup at my new home. Better remote now, even though I never had a problem with the 10 year old one, and great looking.

We have just a pull down screen, at our old house, but same concept with using existing rail. It is aesthetically pleasing because it’s inside the garage.

We did look at Michelle’s for new house, but not sure if we want the outside visual
