Even if the donor top is not in excellent shape it's worth it to get the frame and by new canvas. Buying the complete assembly from Porsche new is in the neighborhood of $11,500 just for the parts.
In my not so humble opinion, the 4 bow is better in just about every way. The glass is quieter, easier to see out of, and does not really compromise engine access. I also believe that the profile of the top is more appealing; the difference subtle, but yet another plus. If you can find a used one, grab it.
