And it could stand to be just a bit taller to bring the POI down a bit.

Yes, two reference points; GT asked that we measure from the top of the blade to the top of the ramp- i.e. the top of the dove tail.

GT-
The luger drawings show the height of the blade in both ways of measurement. Converted to inches the way you asked for the measurement is : 0.20 to 0.213 in.

The drawing would be suitable for the mfg to use, though changes would need to be made for the height increase.
