986 Hard Top owners

For guys with hardtops, how does it change the driving experience? After having the Box for years, I like the cabin sound of the 996 coupe better. I feel with the rag, I hear more stuff going on and being the paranoid type, I might be better served with a hardtop. I was planning on selling the 986 (actually posted last night) to get a coupe but suddenly it's a family heirloom, who'd a thought? I got an earful. I love the Box but I just like the peacefulness of the coupe.
I recently drove a 996 and I just loved the cabin noise on the highway, it was definitely more peaceful, more GT than sportscar.
I guess my question is, will the hardtop bring me the cockpit sound of the 996 or am I dreaming? I know the motor is still right there but what about the other sounds that come with a rag vs a coupe. Help please.
