Regrets from full glass?

I've got an opportunity to buy a HR EL that hits most of my option list, except this van is a cargo with full glass (and privacy glass option) that I wasn't really planning on. I'm hoping that @gregoryx or others with full glass can provide tradeoffs or regrets from their experience.
I know that I'll need to get a full set of window covers, and that's a minor but extra step each time to deploy. I'll be using the van in Florida as much as nationwide travels, so I'd expect to need to cover up as part of the routine in combination with A/C. I don't think full glass impacts my layout much. There may be some upper cabinets blocking the windows slightly. Full glass also steers me away from a track actuator for raised bed and pretty much settles a column lift decision, which causes some ripple effects but is tolerable.
The lack of stealth doesn't bother me one bit. Having more light and view seems like a plus, except for at night when privacy may be needed. What else became a factor in your decision?

I only have glass in the rear doors and sure would like a window in the slider. Sometimes I get to a street that I have to make a right turn since I can't see if anything is coming.
