CR,
I have both. The stow away is nice cause you can leave it at home if the
weather is favorable and have more space behind the seats and in the boot.
I take the full Tonneau if I'm by myself or going to be parked any length of
time.
If weather is so so, I take the stow a way with me. The folding top is good
for spordic rain forecasted, but takes up a lot of space behind the seats.
I also have a hard top for late Fall and Winter. It's nice to have the
flexibility. When the C is driveable, I'll have one of each set up. (-:
Can't wait.
