Personally, I think it's great to have both options ... for me, if it's cold enough to need the LPP, it's probably cold enough to need the hood, so I'm not worried about the lack of zip on the full-zip version; this would also help balance out the gain in weight from the full-zip on the front.
Plus, having a different option gives me an excuse to have both ... probably just as well, seeing as my wife seems to have commandeered my LPP, just like my Woobie.
