I can also vouch for the Jarvis, I'm tall and often use it at or near max height without issues. I'm not sure how common this is but one of the best features is that it is smart enough to smoothly come to a stop rather than just jerk to a stop when you release the up/down buttons or use the memory settings. Sound like a tiny feature but my desk at work doesn't have this and it jerks enough to move the monitor arms around enough to be annoying.

I built the top myself from strips of oak, maple and cherry, pretty easy to do if you can access the tooling and massively cheaper than commercial tops. It's a bit thinner than the linked top but weighs over 100lbs I would guess.
