Default Mugen or OEM hardtop? what do you think

Well..Im sure every S2K owner has the option of a hardtop in the back of there mind..all though very pricey..u gotta love em =)

Anyhow..what I have come down too..is which one?

Mugens hardtop for 2500 non cf top

or from hardtopguy for 2500.00 on an oem one.

What do you think would be better for everyday driving and fitment quality?

What do you think looks better?

Thanks guys

Mugen:
-Blang Blang
-Looks better since it flows with the car's lines very well (Just my opinion)
-Weights less
-Smaller rear window, thus more blind spots
-No interior accents, just bare fiberglass or CF

OEM:
-Fit and finish of OEM quality
-Wide rear window, small to no blind spots
-Window defroster
-Aluminum construction, thus weighting more, 44lbs to be exact
-Has interior trimming/accent, whatever you call it

My choice would be mugen if the prices were the same, or else I'd pick the one that is cheaper.

Mugen's HT is also unpainted so you have to factor in the cost of painting it!
