I have a Hidden Draw bow blind sold by Innovative Hunter.  Very similar concept.  the HIPS blind looks nice in that it detaches easily.  The shooting hole looks to be a little large, but might be fine - no experience to know for sure.
Either one are good choices - bow blinds do work!
Here is a picture of mine.  I added some burlap strips for more of a 3D effect.  I have tweaked it a bit since this picture, and continue to modify.

Whip, in a pop up blind I get a bit of a depth perception problem, have you experienced anything like that shooting thru the small opening?

moleman, it does take some getting used to, at least for me.  When turkey season gets close I practice with the bow blind attached.  It quickly becomes very natural and I shoot fine with it on.  My goal with turkeys is always for very close shots, so depth perception is not as much of an issue.
