Technically, I can't help much, but the canvas top on my 76 looks like a
million bucks.  Much nicer than vinyl, easier to stretch by the tiniest
margin, but I don't know about durability over the long term either as
it is only a year old or so.  I don't really use tops much on any of my
Spits anyway. but as I said, it looks great when it is up.
