Having both, here are my Pro's/Con's

Factory Premium softop

Pros:
  • Semi quiet for a softop
  • Very easy to take down with the zipper-less design
  • Safari mode is nice if you are trying to keep cargo semi dry in a downpour and you happen to not have the sides with you.
  • Slightly more storage space than the trektop
Cons:
  • Ugly when down. I personally can't stand the giant bunched up fabric with the top down.
  • Sits 3" taller than the factory premium softop which could be an issue with garage clearance if you are tall enough.
  • The top goes very high when you are trying to flip it all the way back (cannot be done in my 8' garage at my height)


Trektop NX
  • Pros:Awesome fastback look (personal opinion)
  • Flipping back to sunrider mode is simple and the top doesn't go nearly as high as the factory
  • I like the zipper pouches built into the top for storage
  • 3" Better clearance, which for me allowed easy entrance to my garage regardless of temperature
  • I love the bikini top look when taking the back/sides off
  • Semi quiet for a softop
Cons:
  • Doesn't open all the way (rear passengers still remain covered)
  • ZIPPERS! I was spoiled by the zipper-less design of the factory softop
  • Slightly less storage space than the factory top
  • Takes a little longer to remove the side panels than the factory softop
If I wanted to take the top off on the weekends, how long does it take to remove the Bestop, top (not the hardware)? Also how long to reinstall the top (not the hardware)?
