Default vinyl or C/S cloth convertible top???

Some junkie fked up my convertible top and now has a nice 10" gash in it. It will be replaced by insurance, but am wondering if I should upgrade to a cloth top and pay the difference (I'm assuming there will be a $$$ diff.). I live in BC Canada where it rains A LOT and am wondering about the durability compared to the regular vinyl version as well as fit n finish, maintanence/cleaning etc - I'm kinda digging the matt finish as well of the cloth - anyone either has converted or has a cloth top have an opinion?? thx a bunch guys!

My cloth looks as good as it did day 1. I'm here in New England and see all the weather. My 06 had the vinyl, I prefer the cloth on my 07 so much more.

Go with the cloth top. It will cost more but will last longer and look better. I have had cloth tops on many sportscars. I do a once-a-year treatment with Ragg Topp treatment and they always looked like new.
