I know it'll be really nice to have open October through March but the rest of the year is what I want to know about. Any thoughts?

I would without hesitation! I just ordered my 05 MCS (Nov '04 delivery) with the sunroof. If you leave the car out in the sun in the middle of summer, it will not matter if you have a sunroof or not. In the Autumn (can I say there even is one?) and the Spring time are the times to have the windows down and the sunroof open! Living in Phoenix for 27 years now, you get used to it, as you will remember! Hope this helps!
