I hear you on that. I'm not that tall and now even shorter than I used to be (getting older is the pits ), but one reason I had a hard time liking the Hennessy ULBA was the fact that the ridge line is so darn close and low.
In my Bridges I keep the ridge line as high as possible and it is way out of my way now. When I'm laying down and reach up, the ridge line is about the middle of my hand or a little higher. I like it up there since it also keeps the bug netting and over cover up high and out of the way.
