Why would you say for convenience the flat top? (If you are saying the flat top for convenience.)
The only reason why I ask is that I see the monitor top as a bit bigger, has the foot pedal opening, and will be easier to clean (legs). Both are highly efficient (more efficient than modern fridges because of the sulfur dioxide). The monitor top does need some cleaning, but I am going to leave the finish as is. I must admit, I am leaning towards the monitor top myself.
They weigh about 250 pounds, so the current joke is we'll buy four of these (we still need a globe top and a honeycomb to add to the collection, which is my husbands) and then we can switch them each season (spring, summer, fall, and winter).
The flattop fridge comes with the option of using the top for extra storage. I can't imagine that you could (safely) put many things on top of a monitor-top fridge like that, without it either falling off, or damaging the monitor.
