AMTAK's A-Frame Spinning Guides

Does anyone know the height of these guides? I've looked on the website and can't seem to find the measurements. I know Batson has the measurments with theirs, but just trying to compare.

Thanks

Comparable to the Batson VS3 guides with the support up the middle. The AmTak guides with the brace across the span are equally strong and resistant to twist.

Either one are better (i.e., stronger) than the Fuji "tall" guides without a brace.

I believe he was asking what the height of the Am Tac guides were compared to the Batson guides and not comparing the strength of the two brands against the Fuji's.
