3 Series or CLK soft top?

Please advise the best Mercedes-Benz CLK soft top to buy? Also is the BMW 3 hard top better please?

CLK soft tops can be a lot of trouble and expensive to fix. So a folding hardtop E93 BMW 3-Series better.

Much better second attempt at CLK. Goes well, handles well and is comfortable. Attractive looks.
