I've got a Downey SST soft cover. I like it for the most part, the
snap/channel system is very easy and I don't have to worry about lining
up snaps or anything. I don't think the flexibility takes away *too*
much from the aerodynamics compared to the hard cover. But like I said
to Ron, you may never make up the price difference between soft & hard
in gas mileage.
The only real annoyances I have with the cover are that A) I don't have
a way to roll it up and secure it (I suppose I could get some Velcro
straps to fix that) and B) with the slider open, I hear it
slapping/buzzing (but you'll get that with *any* soft tonneau).
