Med vs High Roof

I've been following the threads for a while now, but can't seem to figure out which would be a better buy for my wife and I - going with the medium roof or the high roof.

Here's what we'll be doing:

Our plan is to travel through both North and South America over the course of several years. We'll be using the van as an RV conversion and as a mobile office. We are AVID outdoors enthusiasts and considered the Sprinter 4x4 until we were told by many owners that they never had use for the 4x4 model.

I'm 5'10... maybe 5'11 on a good day.

I'd like to be able to use this as a mobile office when we aren't traveling - a place to do work (computer) and park at the beach to just chill. The space sounds inviting, but am worried that I'm limiting myself interns of stability with the higher roof.

Thoughts?

I was, in fact, referring to the 3.7 there. That's the second reason I decided against it.
My apologies- I don't know how I misread that;)
Great analysis. I'm only 5'8" and found that, while I could stand up in a bare bones MR van, I could not in an outfitted MR Van I checked out at the Detroit Auto show this year. The outfitted HR at the same show let me hold my head high!

Keep in mind that you lose significant headroom in a wagon, due to elevated floor and fancy headliner. Not so, with a cargo van.


Sure, finishing a cargo van will use some vertical space... but, typically not as much as with a wagon.
