Thinking about a 3rd gen Miata. I miss having a convertible or T-top in the stable.

I have driven several first gen models, owned a second gen limited (6-speed, posi, leather, etc.), so I know the vehicle type. Great handling, very reliable, not very fast, maybe the slickest transmission around, but quick handling makes up for lack of forward motivation.

There's a couple retractable hardtops locally. Anyone own a 3rd gen and an earlier model to compare? Especially a hardtop. Extra weight any big deal? Significantly quieter than a ragtop?

Only considering a hardtop because the sound from a good stereo is so much better than a soft top (tops up, obviously doesn't matter when the top is down).
 
Most all of the NC prhts I've seen are automatics so I don't know if that will change your mind. NCs are kind of overweight, you might be better off with an 01-up vvt NB. If you're the collector type, a 99 10th anniversary is extremely desirable.
