Anyone who has had both can compare the build quality between a late Mazda Miata MX-5 PRHT (power retractable hard top) and the Nissan 370z?

While Mazda as a car maker is itself not highly ranked, the Miata is consistently ranked at or near the top in reliability, affordability, satisfaction etc. I'm choosing between the 370z, the Miata PRHT and a Cayman. Obviously the Cayman is much more expensive, maybe more than I'd want to spend on my third car, but it is in the mix.

Thoughts on your Z's build quality vs. the MX-5 PRHT?

Thanks,
