Hipshot A-style bridge height adjustment

Hey everyone.

Can anyone tell me how much height adjustment a Hipshot A-style bridge has. Specifically a 6 string 0.75 string spacing model, if I need to specify.

Additionally what radius do you use for a 6 string?
I usually like a tight radius, but the 7.25" block I used for my 4 string is going to be somewhat inappropriate for a 6 string ;)
 
Most players I know who have that many strings want a fairly flat radius (16" - 20", sometimes greater, sometimes no radius at all).

I do my 6 strings with a compound radius - usually ~10" - 24"

The Hipshot website might have the info you need on the bridge height, and if not, your best bet is to call them directly. I hear they are very helpful.
