Hard Times hitting! Need Comments

Hi All! This is a repeat of thread started in New 09 Mini Cooper Cabrio:

In order to re invest in my business, I have to sadly let go of my summer car, a Porsche C2 Cabrio..... I have my Cooper S (08) which to me drives as well as the Porsche ! I get as much of a thrill! Alas, the 'S' only has the sliding roof,which to me is still not the same as a full top down convertible.
Here is my question, should I sell my Hardtop Coupe and Lease a Mini Cooper S Cabriolet ? I live in Canada and winter months are brutal! I got along just fine driving the Coupe with it's Heater and heated seats keeping me plenty comfortable.
The trend is for retractable hardtops (ie EOS), But Mini's still have the venerable cloth.
My concerns: Winter comfort wise (heat), and interior noise on the Cab?
Would I be disapointed ? How about some guidance boys and girls?
Appreciate this site and everybody's input. T.

I'd stick with the Mini you already have.
