Would This Restrict Airflow?

Bitfenix recently released new variants of their Prodigy Mini-ITX case with a side panel window instead of a grille. I like the new colors, but I can't help but notice that the window would be very close to the GPU, and could possibly restrict the airflow to the GPU. Take a look:

Would the older models with the grille side panel be better?

I don't think so. As long as there's still that awesome 230mm fan in the front(or two 120s), it shouldn't restrict airflow. Though I wouldn't recommend a open style video card in that kind of case.
