87 911 Cab REPLACEMENT Top, Which one to choose

I'm looking for feedback on those that have had a new Convertible top installed on a G Body.

I am finishing up restoring a 87 Carerra Cab and wanted feedback on GaHH or Robbins tops and which model?

I am leaning tword GaHH's German classic but my installer prefers Robins German classic.

I appreciate the feedback.

For what it's worth - I prefer the 2-piece style which is more period correct than the 993 style, but that's purely a matter of taste

Cab top

This is my third 3.2 cab, I'm partial to the stock 2 piece. I love leaving the rear window alone down in august.

My previous two cabs had great tops which was a testament to how good the original tops were.
