The only thing I have heard is Lexan replacement for t-top glass.

Honestly since doing the conversion to my car I can't feel much of a difference other than its more comfortable to drive.

I don't believe there is much difference between the two. The 4th gens were engineered to have t-tops (remove the headliner of a hard top and you'll see). Here is a good thread:
