I used my 4/4 most days in the 5 years I had it, (unless it looked like rain or I needed a larger vehicle for some reason). As a consequence I very rarely put the hood up.
I went with the trad hood on the basis that I think the car is so much prettier when the hood is down, and I boght the car to drive it with the hood down.
If I were to buy another one, I might just go with an easy up, as I suspect the hood to windscreen join of the easy up is more watertight in heavy rain than the 9 stud one.
