Any other 850 owners tempted by 2005 S-40? 850

AT 6'7" I don't fit into the 40, no headroom. I tried the other models but they painted the inside of the windshield black to keep the sun out. Now I have a huge blind spot where the road disappears - could not drive the car out of the parking lot!
Besides, the sunvisors are over padded and come down about 1" into the windshield area. You short guys probably think it is funny... try sitting with the seatback at 45 degrees and your hair touching the head liner while having the B pillar even with your left eye. The tint in the windshield is what I am looking through to see down the road, what ever is not blocked by the visors and the black paint.
Thank you, I needed that!

I feel much better now, that is why I will keep driving my 850T.
