Patrick. Does ERA have you on commission?
They should!
FWIW: I've seen an SPF pick up from its roll bar.
Despite not having a drive line in it, I was quite impressed.
Further, I'm willing to bet you'll never roll it & therefore I'll go as far as saying almost any roll bar (other than for a track car) is overkill.
I think you're complicating this far too much.
Both make for awesome Cobras, in my mind it's this simple.
If you want it now! Get an SPF!
If your happy to wait then put the deposit down and join the queue.
These cars are never finished! Even when they're finished you'll be working on them.
So you'll still learn plenty about them that way.

IIRC it had a bolt through it 
In fact it had two rollbars and was pick up from only the one. |

I'm trying to think if I've ever seen an SPF with pusher fans. I'm wondering if the angle of the radiator causes problems with that or not.  |

I believe the engineers at Superformance felt the pusher fans were not practical with their design intentions. They purposely set the ride height to allow an occasional 4 wheel jaunt and they found the grass clippings produced from the front fans would clog the radiator and cause the inevitable small block to overheat.

There is a large heavy sleeve welded on top of the frame. The roll bar ends slip in to that sleeve so they are resting on the frame. A bolt then goes through the sleeve and the bar. The trunk brace is a little different.

No, but they should.

Yep, the year they took building my car seemed like it lasted forever. But in the end it was worth it.
