I think it is just another piece of machinery that adds to the weight of the car, ....
and I also used to worry that it would always break....outta warranty, so I was also leary of it for that reason as well....
plus I always get out to put the boot on anyway

I was going to not get power, but 225 is standard...
The non power top drops very easily and is faster than the power top. I assume you could even drop the top while moving slowly. Putting the top up is another story and I cannot imagine doing it without stopping and getting out of the car.
I've been out when it started to rain and have put the top up at a stoplight or pulled over for a quick stop. Without getting out your top is up and on your way.
I had MGs where I wouldn't drop the hood because it was such a pain to put back up. I think I go topless more because I know I can get it back up easily if conditions change. I like it.
I have put the top up and down manually to verify it can be done so never worry about being stuck if the mechanism breaks.
