Are the softops all much of the samness or is there a quality difference between different sites? ie. austops, ebay, suzistore. it seems the price is the only thing that changes.

there is a difference in quality between them - especially the ebay ones.

i'd suggest buying from benchai / bulldog trimming on here - check the business section

I have seen a lot of different soft-tops over the years. Austops are the best. Repaired/Old Austops are second best.

When it comes to cheaper ones made here in oz (I can't speak for bulldog trimming as I haven't seen one of theirs) they seem a bit inferior - the canvas isn't really tight, the fit isn't perfect etc.

Exactly. Dave's work is second to none. He uses only high grade canvas and he spends alot of time to ensure his designs are water tight and don't flap etc.

Austops are only selling Bestops now, they have a few odd colours left for vits I believe. They told me they couldnt get Australian supplies any more for a good price...

Bulldog Trimming all the way. The quality and fit is second to none. Dave is a genius and a very nice man to go with it. The job he did on my custom coily top is amazing pompoms
