Unless someone had expeience with all three, there really could be no meaningful opinion. You might consider shopping for price (EZ-On) since all reviews for any brand of aftermarket soft-top seem to be positive.

I've heard good things about the Robbins top... the OEM top on the other hand, is a joke.

Not really relevant but here in The Netherlands the OEM softtop costs at honda: € 1800,- ...Thats 1800 EURO... or $ 2400 USD for just the TOP....

Now THATS a joke...

We have all had OEM tops, and we all know what happened to them. Not all OEM parts are worth their weight in gold. For this price difference I'd rather not have the same dissapointment and offer a part review for the S2KI community

JackS is right. Unless someone has tried all of them, the poll wont be very accurate. I went with EZ On and loved it. Fits perfect

Get Black Stayfast cloth by EZ-On. Took me about a month to pick which top to get. No regrets at all.
Car looks much newer. Cloth > Vinyl

Vinyl is easier to clean but cloth looks so much nicer. It has a nice dark black rather than the vinyl. Plus most of the newer BMW, Porsche & Mercedez convertibles use cloth tops so go figure
