Has anyone used a Canopy Air Vent(s) and has any advice/opinion on if they are worth it?

I have the two air vents installed (one pilot/one passenger) on the fuselage side that vent into the cabin that work great in flight on my 601HDS, but holding/wait times on the ground they don't do much if anything.

The airport I fly out has some long hold times during peak periods. This morning was about 15 to 20 minutes at Deer Valley (KDVT) and opening up the canopy post pre-flight is a bit of pain and so on. Add in Phoenix, Arizona heat and it definitely gets toasty at times.

My hope was that the canopy vents would catch my idle prop and act more like an open/cracked canopy.... any thoughts?

As an aside, I'll be flying my 601HDS into Copperstate next month - hopefully some other Zenith builders are coming as well.
Thanks,
