I think you might find that many tall people prefer tippers so that they don't have to hunch over to let the aft canopy frame pass over them. Tippers come straight down.

As for me: 7A, tipper, FP, YIO-360M1B 180HP, injected/horizontal, 2x mags.

I'm interested to see how the numbers from your survey/research pan out.
