I have a hard top now but want to add a soft top--should I spend the extra money and get the premium top or just stay with the base soft top?

If you can swing the premium, I would go that way. You can save money by watching craigslist and get a take-off.

X2. Supertop NX Twill is much superior to the factory top. I replaced my factory top fabric on my '09 with a Bestop Replacatop & it was nice, but this Supertop on my '14 is awesome. Looks better, a little quieter, no leaks through a few monsoon like rains, & it is adjustable.

I thought I read you have to make cuts into the Supertop NX Twill when installing it?

I only have the soft top. Works great and is easy to remove or take down without lifts, carts, or whatever you guys do these days. I guess if i lived up north where it gets freezing cold with snow and stuff i would want a hard top. The false sense security of it when traveling out of town might be a plus for the hard top?

My two pennies...Go with premium/twill for sure, I bet they stop using the old material in the very near future. If you have room to store the hardtop, get both tops. 6 months of hardtop and 6 of soft....Although, if you made me go with one top...it would depend on your climate. I live in Michigan, I would go with hardtop only. If I lived south or southwest, I would go with the soft only. It is an exciting day for me though to switch tops, both in spring and the fall. If you do have a garage though, you can store your top above the jeep....I have this and it works great, $175...

I regret buying the dual top option. I have the premium soft top and it is wonderful. The material is very tuff, have rubbed trees that tore open the regular tops on other jeeps with nothing but a little bark that needed to be wiped off the top on mine. I finally sold my hard top for 500 bucks just to get it out of my way.
