Butterfly is good. Took about 3 hours when I did mine but I had access to a lift at a buddies shop. I could probably do one faster now.
Hmmm...

I had the butterfly brace on my '96 and I have yet to install it on my '94. This is great mod, if you don't mind adding 40 pounds to your miata.
When I took my car to the track, after installing the brace, I had to re-learn how to drive my car and had to adjust my coilover settings due to the extra rigidity.
There are some issues with the center section being difficult to install/remove. Gary at trackdog has found a solution to the problem.
Also, the stockloves to rattle against the brace in some turns. I had a stock
M1 miatas will notice the biggest difference in overall rigidity compared to the later models.
The brace significantly reduces the cowl shake over bumps, railroad tracks, and uneven roads.
I'd rather just weld a coupe bars between the windsheild frame and the roll bar. I'd look for the example pic, but I'm far too lazy and awesome to do it right now.
