Seems to me that it's not just an appearance thing but also a climate thing.
Most of the pro-cab guys here are located in areas where they can have the top down virtually all year round.
In climates such as UK and in some areas of US and Europe there limited times when a cab can be fully exploited. That's when the appearance thing takes precedent if you do decide on a cab.

My last car was a cab but I changed to a coupe this time purely on climate grounds. I now find that a coupe, with sunroof, is a good compromise. But IMO it does depend a lot on where you live.![]()

Interesting aspect: appearance vs. climate as decisive factors
Even in Germany with a climate comparable to the UK (at least North and West part of Germany) the cab share amongst 911 is quite high (some 50%). Funny thing is that Hamburg (not really known for a consistent cab suitable climate) has the highest cab density in Germany. Maybe it even adds to the pleasure if you're not able to drive with the top down all year around (like some people would say that having the finest steaks and finest champagne everyday might get boring soon)

Cab looks ten times as good as the coupe from the back.

however with open top the 911 always looked a bit awkward.

go for cab, but beware its not that stiff. having clocked over 7k kilometers on my car it developed quite a few squeaks and rattles. especially the doors work against the chassis and really make funny noises. porsche needs to work on this issue.

then again, nothing beats the sound of the engine when top is down.
