I've never used an open thumb boxing glove. I am not sure what the pros/cons of one would be but I am sure you could find a fairtex pair of gloves with attached thumb for a comparable cost.

The open thumb is not a problem. It lets you clench your fist tighter. I love those Fairtex gloves...I use them more than my open thumb Cleto Reyes bag gloves.
