Interesting thread. I'd be a little concerned that the bar might "adjust" it's self during a roll over event, which would be worse than having a bar that's a little short. Additionally, it won't do you any good when the top is up and the bar is in the down position. A short bar will at least give you room to live, even it you loose some hair in the process.
However, there are other options to consider. I recall a Grass Roots Motorsport article several years ago about building a racing Spitfire with a Mazda rotary engine. They used an exceptionally tall roll bar and had a custom top made to cover it. It was functional and looked OK, but definitely not stock. You could probably get a local automotive upholsterer to build one for you at a reasonable cost.
