Found my way here after engaging in one of your shorts. Really great info. I just ran into an issue with an AR setup using a standard height mount. And found with the LVPO I was using. Once I actually got out to stretch the range on it i was getting a lot of scope shadow. Basically having to chew on my stock to get low enough And I realised I had set it up without ear pro in mind... so when I went to actually shoot, the eye box was so unforgiving when teally zoomed in, and I just didn't have enough movement. I wish i had found a video like this prior. I hadnt even considered anything other than "standard height".
There is not a lot of discussion out there for different mount heights. Heres a comment for engagement.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. You have proven that it is essential to get out and test your equipment. It is a learning process to understand what works and what doesn’t.
It sounds like you could benefit from a higher mount based off your situation. It’s too bad because you already invested money in a mount.
If you have having that much of an issue with a standard 1.42 mount you might want to make the jump to a 1.93 mount if your rifle is going to be used for upright shooting. If you plan to shoot in the prone the 1.57ish mounts might be your ticket.
