I live in Florida and i've had my the top off on my coupe the last couple of nights(way too hot during the day). It takes no more than 30 seconds to take the top off or put it on. If I were you, I would look at both cars with the tops on and decide which one looks the best. Most of the time your going to be driving with the top on either way. The corvette convertible doesn't look too bad with the top up but other cars look horrible.

I have a C6 coupe with the transparent top. I never take the top off because I don't want dust, dirt, bird droppings and wind noise in the cockpit. I prefer instead to let the sunshine in and the automatic climate control do it's thing.

I love my A/C. I set it to the Alaska setting & I go.
