@larrykippings got it. My F8 is a hardtop convertible I hear what ur saying. I do have a soft convertible 2022 mercedes E450 and the sound proofing is pretty decent
On the inside you will not miss a hardtop, plus there is sufficient headroom ( I am 6'8''), not sure how soundproof it is, since I did not get to drive it yet, but love the oldschool top. also the shape has been kept perfectly and there are none of today's ugly "hunchbacks" that destroy the roadster lines.
