Hidden Creek Golf Carts tried telling steering us away from the 205 right now as well - which I suspect is more a function of what they have in inventory.

We are taking delivery in early April when we move in to our new home.
Just an FYI - lowering the roof in the rear 2" will let you make it through the tunnels, but it will be uncomfortably close on the two tunnels in the north end. Driving carefully, you'll clear by less than 1/4".

You'll most likely still scrape on the side once in while in those tunnels - especially Saddlebrook going south to north - the turn is too tight. Swapping out to smaller tires eliminates the worry, giving you a full 2+" of clearance.

Another benefit of smaller tires is increased range. For every 4" reduction in diameter you gain 10% range.
