Default Sierra soft top vs Robbins

I would like some feedback from current Sierra soft top owners or installers .
I know robbins is the go-to.
After reading throughout all the threads, it has been said that members that install soft top for others prefer the Sierra top.
But I can't really find a Sierra top dedicated Thread.
It would be for a 2001 if it make any difference, retrofit would be done for glass window.

I installed a robbins on my old s2000 several years ago and recently put a sierra on a different car. They are basically the same. The sierra top i got had some holes in the rainrail area punched in the wrong spots, but it was an easy fix. The sierra top also did not come with the oddball 5/32 rivets that you basically have to go to a specialty hardware store to find. Well worth the $150 savings in my opinion. It seems like robbins has almost priced themselves out of the market.

The sierra top is an easy way for an installer to save the customer $150-200 for essentially the same product, or boost their profitability. I would use the sierra again after my experience installing one of each, with their respective prices at $540(amazon) and ~$720 last i looked for robbins canvas. Unfortunately i have no experience putting a glass top on a 00-01, so i can't help there.
