On Tops and Series IIIs

Maybe this should be directed to Scott. I know that there are some who
prefer the Series III cars because they have both the high fins and the
newer style top. (Of course there are those that prefer the Series V for
its "improvements" and "power"). Now, I go back and forth on which fins I
like better. And I certainly think the newer style top is a great top.
But, in my opinion (and I repeat, my opinion), I always thought the earlier
top matched the lines of the car better and appeared rather unique and well
designed. Also, I know the newer top weighs a ton, and thought the earlier
one was aluminum and not nearly as heavy. So what gives? Is my opinion
just out of line? (which would be nothing new, I own an Alpine in the first
place, don't I?) Are there problems with the earlier tops which I'm not
aware of?

It's raining here today.
