I would recommend the opposite. The higher the scope is the worse the parallax. You also don’t want your head floating around behind the scope. Precision comes from consistency. You need a good weld. I’m a big guy. I have no problems getting a consistent weld on a standard stock and cantilever mount.
Put a level on your upper and look at how you mount the rifle when it’s in your shoulder pocket. Some guys try to level a scope perfectly to the upper but then they tend to mount the gun crookedly. That can cause problems.
