I have a few answers for you to inject into the conversation. For the wrench, if the 1.5 is like the 2.5, you have a nice tray under the center console where it tucks away nicely and goes nowhere. Besides it's a standard allen key with one end plasti-dipped or something, so you can only use the low torque end (and thereby avoid over tightening).
I've found that the glass top does get hotter in the summer than I like. Then again, unless it's actually hot outside, I just roll the windows down and the cabin is cooled right down in a block or 2. That hasn't worked as well this summer here in oregon - we've been seeing fairly regular weather into the 90's, and swapped over to the soft top - we'll have that on for about 2 months, and then back to the glass top. In Florida, you might find that the heat is more intense, and it is indeed an issue (you'll have to get input from somebody in SoCal, Arizona, or other high sun / high summer temp states). In Oregon, we'll use the glass top 10+ months of the year, with decent odds of keeping it on all the way through the summer too.
I think it's best of all in the rain. The first thunderstorm you're out in, with rain pounding on the glass top ... wow.
