I'm ready to order a new top with glass rear window
Can someone tell me if there is a major difference between these 2 and is it worth the extra money? Thank you!

I would check with your local installer, the fabric is essentially the same but there may be differences in the installation.

A5 is the OEM German made material. Twillfast is a lower cost but still high quality alternative.

I completely disagree with this.
I put the GHAA top on my S. It had a glass window and their acoustic fabric. It made the car as quiet with the top up as the Hard top. Worth every penny. Fabric matters!
The acoustic material was far superior than OEM.

Can anyone recommend an installer in the L.A. area?

All boxsters a have a plug behind the drivers left ear to plug in a rear window defroster.
If you don't want to use it, don't plug it in.
