You are not wrong. A hightop glued and/or screwed will inherently be stronger than a poptop with a few hold downs front and rear, especially if the hole in the roof is the same on both applications. My high top installation, and both of my buddies, all are cut less drastically than a Sportsmobile poptop. In my case the back 30" of roof is intact, plus the area over the front seats.
You can't tell me a hightop permanently fixed to the van would need a roll cage when a poptop doesn't need one. Much ado about nothing...
