Thanks lots of awesome in that thread. Mainly looking for opinions as my wife said put t cage in and get good seats. I can’t afford the soft topper now but would like one for ease and weather.
IME you will have a bit more room in front and possibly a bit less in back . Not due to the top but due to the bows.
Only way to know for sure unfortunately is to get one. Your small build the cage a bit loose to the hard top you should be fine

I feel your pain, I can't afford a Softtopper either. Fwiw, I've heard a Jeep JK 4 door bikini top is roughly the right size for a Blazer (never tried it though).
Rob has one and I plan on measuring his. I know he has said his Diy4x cage has about 3” of space between it and the topper.
Hey buddy
If you develop a full top bikini, think about making a few to help with your cost. I’d be interested in one and don’t mind helping you cover your cost since you’d be doing all the work.
Along that same line, Softtopper sells the snap strip the screws to the windshield frame for about $40. The might make things easier.
Was thinking the same but haven't tried it either
Unfortunately I have not started my cage yet but even with the Softtopper I was gonna squat the cage a bit toward the rear just for looks and I don't mind the losses of vertical height

Yah I was gonna make something for sun coverage on longer wheeling days, just don’t know exactly what to make it out of. Not sure what my wife’s sewing machine is rated for, but it just needs to block the sun, and maybe a little rain. It’s a wheeling rig/ play toy so I don’t have to worry about daily issues. End if the day the soft topper can be used for sun shade just roll the sides up, but at the price they are getting I’d rather just throw some material over the cage until I can afford it.

That's the only thing I don't like about the soft topers. The rear sticks up right at the back
Once the cage is done I'll probably only use a bikini top other than winter
