Yes i believe they are legal but they cannot be welded in.
(uncertain about that part) but for the roll bar to be 2 inches
above my head I would no longer be able to use my top
rendering the car useless as a daily driver.

I'm certain it is a step up in some ways, although I really
do enjoy Solo 2.
