Can't comment on any aftermarket tops, but check your local craigslist. I see stock soft tops all the time in the $150 - $300 range - full tops including all the surrounds and hardware, still in the boxes. People with the dual-top option just let them go for cheap...

I haven't see the Bestop soft top, but I can tell you that usually factory soft tops are far better than any other option out there. Get it used and save money.

You are in a lot different weather then me. I have the dual tops and use the hard in the winter and soft in the summer. I could easily use the soft in the winter. The soft top is great to just peel back the front section in a matter of seconds and not have to worry about the two hard panels if I am out and about.

+1 on looking for a cheap oem. I love my soft top. Heck living in Flordia you you could sell/trade you hard top and never look back. It is Dec 20 and my top is down right now

I got a soft top from a guy for $200, great deal. Would really like a bikini top, but I just use the front HT panels. I love having the versatility, but I run my HT most of the time.

With the OEM soft top I really do not see a need for the bikini top. Windows out = bikini top....... kinda
