Thats the thing though, hard top convertibles are excellent year round vehicles with almost no drawbacks compared to fixed roof vehicles.
The major draw back for hard tops being a huge compromise of trunk space even with the top up. Can't put a couple sets of golf clubs in the trunk, can't really put luggage for 2 and have the top down. Definitely can't handle typical luggage for a week away. What's the fun of a vert if you can't take it anywhere.

Modern soft tops are sealed and insulated as good as a hard top

I see the differences are subjective style and the fact that yes a hooligan with a knife can cut through it
I have a 428i Vert and I have to disagree, I put a folding table and four full sized folding chairs in the trunk with room to spare. Plenty of trips to the shoppers clubs and large baskets of groceries. Completely practical. You will never be able to get around the poor visibility with a cloth top either.
