You can see the difference in height between the M bar and my conversion. It is pretty close.

Looks good! In fact, I daresay that would be superior to the standard M bar set up. I find the default M bar just a tad too narrow, and there's a bit too much flex. I would think your retrofit would offer more stiffness.
