Default Clarification on Bestop Sailcloth?

I am looking into "attempting" to quiet the inside of my jeep and was looking into the Bestop Sailcloth as they are advertised as the most quiet tops on the market. Then I was reading somewhere else that these are the same as the factory soft tops??

Just wondering if somebody could clarify, I have a 2008 2 door Rubicon with a factory non-sunrider softop and don't want to waste money on a new top if it is the same as the one I have on there now.

Thanks!

The wifes 07 JKU came with the sunrider soft top, and it is sailcloth.

Yes, sailcloth = factory top for 07-12. For 13, the standard top is still sailcloth, but if you get the premium top, then it's the twill top crusaderJK linked to. It's much thicker and quieter than the sailcloth, which itself was a vast improvement over the older tops.
