As for rigidity, you could be right, the whole frame of the car may turn to jello when you remove the roof, but I really don't think that a car this light has a super thick roof that is the absolute crux of the car's rigidity. Yes, it's possible that the convertible would be slightly less rigid than the coupe, but I don't think the difference would even be noticeable to a weekend racer unless Subaru botches the job.
It's more the unified shape than the thickness or amount of material that gives it the rigidity.
