The riser block is 75mm high. I felt this keeps it in proportion with the 150mm diameter column flange. Although it may be tempting to make the block higher, this will reduce ridgidity much more and it will just look odd. Once the turret is back in place even the extra 75mm looks quite tall although upto 100mm tall should be fine.
