this.
keep it. it won't be as easy to take on and off, and it'll be MUCH noisier. Plus you can't go wrong with oem fitment i.e. not having to use weatherstripping/extra seals, etc.
you can always sell it to someone who wants it more than you though.

"Define satisfied" means:
What are you expecting from it? What are you looking to gain that you think is lacking with the OEM hardtop? It's a subjective matter and you have to clarify what it is that you're looking for in a hardtop if you want feedback.

While I agree with the other bits, this stuck out.
Oem hardtop is 47lbs and pretty hard to remove by yourself (unless you have a pulley system). I can remove/install my CF seibon by myself, just because its 17lbs lighter.
Or are you talking about the brackets? In which case, you can use oem strikers and catches on any of the mugen and mugen replicas, making it just as "easy".
The wind noise and better resale value are real issues with mugen and mugen replicas though.

i'm sure you'll find a buyer quick, provided you sell less than $2500 - at which, you'll still be paying almost that much for some replica cf stuff. and if you're considering resale value already, then selling the oem top would help someone who really wants one and plans to keep the car longer than you.
good luck with your decision.
