I have what looks to be the same top. It's a good one imo. I take it through the woods regularly, no tears and no holes. Easy removal. Really strong material.
Yes...seems to reflect less noise. One of those spiderweb shade type tops would be even better, but not water proof. And of course, no top is sooooo quiet.
I have the same one also. I like it and it is easy to remove when trailering my Pioneer. I have also added the mid panel and have the rear panel also to use when I have my grandkids. All the Honda accessories seem to be high quality.
