I'm looking to buy a bi-pattern, dynamic rope for top roping, but don't want to spend a fortune on it. Will this rope work? Any other suggestions?

This will work but it will not last for long if all your doing is top roping on it. I would recommend the Edelweiss Sharp or the Blue Water Eliminator Bi-Weave if you are looking for a solid bi-weave for top-roping. A less expensive option would buy a more economical 10.3 rope and then get a rope marker and mark the mid-point yourself.

It will work, but I don't think it's your best choice. 9.6mm is fairly skinny and top roping is abusive on ropes. I would suggest something closer to 10.5mm.
