I've been looking at a few vendors and they make a distinction between vert and coupe roll bars (4-6 point)

Is there difference in size - are they truly not interchangeable or is there another reason?

I ask as I may be able to get a deal on one out of a coupe but it would be useless if there is a good reason why it won't fit.

My goal is not necessarly to be track legal - rather I like the way they look and it may provide a bit of safty and stiffening.

Convertible bars and gages have to allow for the top movement and storage and are usually smaller and/or the support bars are in different locations.
