If you wanted only to take it out on sunny days for short jaunts then, yes. Personally there have been many " topdown" days where after a while it gets too hot on a two hour ride and the top is a nice break from the sun. I have also been caught in a couple quick downpours and the top is a REALLY nice this to be able to just throw up with the press of a button. I am also a big fan of the radio and A/C when I do need to throw the top up. I guess I would miss the creature comforts that would come in handy from time to time. My Boxster is also not a daily driver, but I wouldn't trade those creature comforts in to shed a few pounds.
Just my two cents.
