I would say that it also depends on your background as a pilot when it comes to your perception of how much of an issue items like the canopy arch are.
If you are used to having one (ex-Harrier pilot) then it is a less of a problem to you than if you are not used to having one (F-16 Pilot).
It's a similar story with other non-electrically augmented vision issues: a Tornado pilot would probably think the visibility is great, even without DAS, compared to a GR4, whereas a Typhoon pilot may have a different opinion.
