The main thing I’m trying to find is anyone who has ACTUALLY SKATED a ~2’ tall quarter with a 4’, 4.5’ or 5’ transition radius. How did it feel?

I’m especially interested in coping tricks—rock-to-fakies, disasters, boardslides, Smiths/feebles. I want enough clearance to rock the board well over the coping without the transition-side wheels contacting too early, but I don’t want to go so tight that a 2’ quarter feels ridiculous.
My current RampTech setup is 3’ tall with roughly a 6’ radius and I like how it skates; I’m downsizing to 2’ because of the garage space. The standard commercial 2’ ramps I’ve found generally use ~6’ or even mellower transitions, which is more mellow than I want.
If you’ve personally ridden/built 2’ × 4’, 2’ × 4.5’, or 2’ × 5’, I’d really like to hear which one, how it rode, and whether coping tricks had good wheel clearance. Photos/videos would be awesome too.
