The cup car wing is always an option. IMO I would be carefull about finding a company that just offers a "taller" upright with out doing there home work. Remember this wing is a functional aerodynamic item not a fashion statement. Porsche does hours or wind tunnel testing to find the overall best place and function of the wing. Is there room for improvement, sure with proper R&D. Wing function and efficiently is in the realm between downforce and drag. What would happen if an upright broke at 150+? You get the idea.
Be carefull.

Orbit is working on it.
We took some measurements yesterday, raising the OEM wing 4-5". They are looking at design and finish now. Mine will be painted gold but I think they will come very similar to the OEM finish.

If you are going to raise the wing on your GT3RS I would replace it with a "cup" wing to work with the cup uprights.
The profile of the RS wing is designed to work at a lower height because of the bow that is built into it much like a RSR.
I would not recommend raising the standard road car RS wing to roof height as on a cup for aerodynamic reasons.
If you are at a (ALMS or World Challenge) event come by the transporter and I will show you how and why.
We do have Cup wings and uprights in stock if anyone needs a complete set up.

The CUP wing is too big and ugly for my daily driver. I can barely get by my car in the garage as it is.
I just want my pretty oem wing out of me rear mirror vision. 4" will do, extra adjustability would be nice.
If needed we'll fix the downforce with the different angles and Gurney flap.
