I see you already pulled the trigger on a new top, but I figured I'd weigh in as a glass top owner.
I enjoy the (non-acoustic fabric) glass top I have and can deal with the compromises. If I were in your situation I would stick with keeping the original (and sometimes hard to come by) blue color to the top to match the interior. I don't think the material would make much difference, as the replacement I got was already quieter than my original, so you wouldn't be losing out on anything by getting it. As others have stated, there is not a significant difference in the sound between the two tops, which is the claim.
Either way, congrats on the purchase and enjoy your new top. You won't be disappointed.
