T-Tops better or worse??

This is just an opinionated question... Something for peeps to read...
I have T-tops and love em'... take em' off everytime I drive the car, unless it is raining of course. Now I am unsure of a subframe on these cars for the issue of flex, however, I wonder if people like the T-Tops or the Hardtop, or the sunroof better>?

I love the t-tops ... they are always out ... even when it rains

As for chassis flex, I've not ever heard of that being a big issue.
I push the hell out of my car, but it has really been tightened up.
I also have a 6-point roll bar which really firms things up as well.

I love the T-Tops and the ladies do too!

Does anyone know how much the stock T-tops weight off hand? I guess I could just put one on a scale but I'm feeling lazy at 11:30 at night.

Hardtops are my favorite by far. They have the cleanest look IMO. I like the sunroof since it fits perfectly in the frunk when you have it out. T-Tops are my least favorite. They are ok, but they almost always leak and are a little more hassle to take on and off and store behind the seats, esp if you have a system. I have all 3, but if I had to choose it would be hardtop all the way.
