I've had my Boxster S since 2003 and my hardtop for the past 3 years. I would say it's nice but not essential. If you have adequate storage for it off the car, I would say buy one when you find one in a color that works for you, is priced at what you're willing to pay and is not a geographical challenge to get home.
For me, the car is quieter with the hardtop in terms of road noise, but there are a few extra squeaks and rattles due to chassis flex over the poorly maintained roads here in the Northeast US.
As an aside, I passed up on an opportunity to acquire the RTS about 2 years ago. I responded to a Craigslist Ad for a set of 17 inch Boxster wheels. The woman selling the wheels told me they were already sold, but she did have this Boxster roof rack system if I was interested....I do my roof racking of bikes, skis, whatever on my daily driver though, and know I would scratch up my paint big time trying to install the RTS on my Boxster so I passed on this chance to get one.
