It's not just the physical movement / work involved, the PRHT can better get
you 'away from it all' when you so desire. Sometimes after hundreds of miles
top down, or in heavy rain and such, I could dig that! Being able to hear
the music better on occasion of top up driving AND there's the whole
security thing! I never lock my soft top but all of us have heard the horror
stories of stupid criminals who cut the soft top open w/o even trying to
open the door! Leaving ANYTHING in the interior of my car (trunk included
because that IS NOT secure in any way) is purely a leap of faith in
humanity. So far, humanity has not disappointed me on this (if no other)
issue! I'd like to feel that my luggage in the trunk (camera and radar
detector and such) really IS secure. To me, that's no small part of the
equation.

Wow, back on topic! :-)

I like having a roadster and I am not trying to make the car something
it is not,but if I can have the best of both worlds in this one specific
area, why not?
I really like how all 3 generations of Miata look with a hardtop in
place, but I will never deal with attaching and removing one unless I am
in a place that receives significant snow and then it would stay on for
months at a time.

That said, I can completely understand why someone would want the ragtop
instead of the PRHT. It just seems to be my preference to have the
optional hardtop that goes with me.

No question that the NC ragtop is awesome, and I think that Mazda should
have done that top-down style by the 2nd generation model, with the
outer portion always facing the sun and rain and no boot.

Ya, it's hard to complain when you read about what a PIA the Solstice soft
top apparently is.
