I think dockhead's boat is much older than the current 54DS..
There were some "reviews" in the mags recently. I don't see how you see forward from the helm, with the cabin in the way. (If you're talking about the current production version)
I had the 45 ds which was a diaster and yes could not see forward from cockpit .
However in told new 54 does have good vis .
This model only got launched a year or two ago so not many about
