I have been researching them as well because Wasatch and Fiberine are just so dang far away from me. Mory isn't exactly close, but I have family in Vermont and a couple company offices along the way that I could possibly use to break up my trip. Anyway, I've only found one Redditor, who spoke highly of their install about a year ago (summer 2024 for the people who find this post in the distant future, see link). Same poster (I presume, she has a fairly distinctive looking van) commented on a Facebook group about 7 weeks ago (early July 2025) that she was happy with the install and also had them mount solar panels and a fan (https://www.facebook.com/groups/366057351523906/posts/1070120091117625/)
Found another guy about a month ago who got a quote for a little over $4 k installed, but is going to try to DIY his high top. (link to second Reddit post)
I think their 24 inch high top looks a little funny, but that aerodynamic style on the bumble bee van looks pretty slick. I'm 5-10ish (rounding up), and it sounds like the aerodynamic could juuuust work for me if I go with that very thin foil style insulation on the floors and ceilings with maybe something like a thin laser cut carpet on the floor (they claim 5-11 interior standing room), and I like the idea of taking less of a hit on gas mileage, especially as I'm looking for a weekend rig where I'll be generally be using a van in favorable weather.

I just had a 24" Transit type high top installed at Fiberine last Friday. Very happy with their work and the top was exactly what I had ordered. Sorry no comment on Mory, since Fiberine is about 1.5 hours from me. I have 6' 7" interior height which will drop a little once I do my flooring and ceiling install.

Looks great ! how much did you pay?

With the options and installation, it was about $8500. Steep but totally transformed the van. Can't wait to build it out.

After exchanging emails with Mory, I'm not sure their aerodynamic "Condor" high top would give me full standing height where I plan to build the kitchen galley. I'm still looking for a van, so I'm getting way ahead of myself, but noting my options while I'm randomly thinking about them in case they're helpful for others.
1.) Keep stock height. I'm actually planning to keep my purchase mostly stock for the first several months of ownership, using my camping gear to make sure I enjoy camping in the van before sinking money in a build. I tend to chase moderate weather for weekend use, so this should be feasible before I start the real build.
2.) Long road trip to Wasatch in Salt Lake City and have them install a Tufport high top for me. I have some company offices that I could probably use half-way across the country to help split up my drive so I'm not going 30+ hours to Salt Lake City in 2-3 days horrible days of driving (i.e. drive 13-15 hours over a weekend, work a week in a city, then drive 15-17 hours over another weekend to Salt Lake City for the build and some Rocky Mountain vacation time, repeat on way home).
3.) Ask Fiberine and Tufport about shipping and eastern installation options (Edit: Tufport states quite clearly on their website that they won't ship).Even if Tufport has an exclusive USA deal with Wasatch, a drive to an install shop in Toronto or Windsor would work great alongside a trip to visit my Dad in Michigan. I've read that Fiberine will ship to a shop, but I'm guessing that shipping is pretty expensive and tops can be damaged in transit,
4.) install the Mory aerodynamic high top and be prepared to slouch and bend my head a bit at the kitchen galley, which I would tend to naturally do anyway while doing dishes or cooking on a single burner. They recommended their 24 inch high top, but I don't care for the aesthetic of it (see picture below)
5.) Find a Quigley conversion Express or Savana that already has the high top. I actually saw one on BringaTrailer recently, but it was a long wheelbase (I prefer short) cargo van (I prefer passenger windows). This would be the prefered option, but I doubt it's very feasible as I have never seen the combo I would like to have, that is, Quigley converted 4x4, short wheelbase, passenger window van, with standing room high top already installed.

That is just too much money for me. At that point I would just sell my van and look for a whole different platform. I went chevy express for the AWD and its been amazing but being that tall kind of limits the places you can go also. I am just thinking out loud here, your rig looks fantastic but damn thats a lot of cash when van prices are falling

How much are those? I personally dont see a huge difference in aesthetics and would be more concerned with how much weight I could put up there. My rig has solar and a kayak right now and I dont think I could live without eitherAfter exchanging emails with Mory, I'm not sure their aerodynamic "Condor" high top would give me full standing height where I plan to build the kitchen galley.

I didn’t get to the quote stage yet, but I saw a Reddit post stating a little over $4 k installed. Doesn’t specify which top though.

Yeah, it was costly but we also spent a fair amount buying the van, since I specifically wanted a 4x4 conversion one (Quigley or Advanced 4x4 which is what we got). It seems GM 4x4 converted models (not AWD) are harder to find and especially with the specs/requirements I wanted. I found this one local and other than being black (I had black vehicles), it was exactly what I was looking for.

It occured to me, as I was thinking about subfloor options, that I need to decide on a high top before I move forward with my subfloor.
If I went with the Mory high top with 71 inches max standing height, my subfloor needs to be as thin as possible. If I go with Wasatch/Tufport, I can go with thicker floor insulation and a more robust subfloor. I just inquired with Mory if it would be possible for me to travel to their facility to see their installed Condor top. Anybody in the US install a Mory Condor high top that would be open to letting me see the inside of their build? I'm 5-10, so their Condor top would be pretty tight for me (rounding up without shoes), but I like that it would minimize crosswind impacts and be a bit more aerodynamic. A thin reflectix floor insulation might work with the Condor top, and they are the closest high top manufacturer/installer for me. It's just such a tight fit, I want to see the inside in-person before I make a decision.
I would look harder at HTV or Fiberine if I was on the west coast, but it's a bit too difficult to get my van to the west coast from the Carolinas. Freight, and the lack of experienced installers in the southeast, make the Fiberine a less cost effective.

Maybe just put down a Bed Rug or something similar?
Also looking at the Fiberine above, it looks like they've encapsulated wood in the walls (and the entire ceiling?) for reinforcement. Seems like making the whole thing out of plywood and encapsulating the outside with fiberglass would be just as good. Of course if you want it insulated, foam with glass on both sides is the way to go.
You say you are worried about esthetics so maybe homebuilt is out? But this would not be that big of a project.

Yeah, I’ve thought about just doing something like a laser cut carpet to really minimize any interior height impact.
Self-building the top would be a real stretch for my comfort zone from both a skills and shop perspective!
