I ended up going with a completely custom cage built by a local builder who's well known in the SCCA community. FYI. He felt the Wiechers cage a harness bar that offered no additional protection in the event of a roll over. He also didn't feel comfortable with the strength of the mount points they chose. And on the subject of it being a harness bar, the upward sloping of the horizontal bar to which harness attach avoids interference with the center compartment (as does mine, FWIW) but caused us to question if that has an effect on the harnesses. I don't know the answers to those questions but the mere posing of them is cause enough for me to want to stay away. Needless to say, he advised against it. Granted, he may be biased a bit, but I believe his assessments.
