James,
We also have a tall-top 22 cruiser and got our high radar arch when we ordered the boat and are extremely happy with it. The high arch allows us to put our inflated dinghy under it and gives us extra rod storage, four right now, but I'll add another two for next year.
To keep shipping from killing you, perhaps you could have the factory add an arch to a truckload of boats going to a dealer in FL near you.
