I'm pretty sure that bulged roof (which is gorgeous) is mainly just an aero solution, as I see no real use space wise for any good utilization on that increase in internal volume it offers.
Well, of course. It's purely to fill the hole that windshield makes in the air.

Don't know about you, but I'd appreciate the extra headroom. My abode has a 6' 4" ceiling. If I want to stretch my arms I have to be sitting down.

If it has that recess above the windshield for the blinky lights, You could cut it back and add a rolled pan to get some curvature.
