Today I happen to have some time, a Britax G3 Roundabout, a Graco My Ride and a Peg Perego Primo Vaggio convertible handy so I decided to figure out growing room for reals! Note that the Roundabout shell is the same as the G3/G4 Marathon, Boulevard, Pavilion, Advocate, etc. shell.
The seats were not installed but I assembled them on my floor in the RF configuration and use folded blankets to put under the back and get them at their most upright allowed angle since that is the angle they are in the respective vehicles they are installed in.
My Ride - 30°
PVC - 35°
Roundabout - 30°
My child is a 2 + a couple weeks. She's tiny, 23# I think and 33.5-34". She's also longer in the legs than the torso. The Peg is at the 7th headrest click, max for RF. She's harnessed in each pic, not drive worthy but good enough for the measurements. Obviously the MR needs to be moved down to the 2nd slots but this seat is new and hasn't been used in the vehicle yet. The Peg is above her shoulders since it goes up with the headrest.
Without further adieu....pics!

Here is the Peg from the side at the 7th click:
and Peg from the back when headrest is at 7th click, you should see 6 square holes:
How I measured with DVD case and then I used my phone along the top flat to get the intersection point and mark the case with Sharpie. Her head is down in this pic but I measured with her head flat against the back of the seat in all pics.
And adding a pic of the True Fit 670C (True Fit Premier Canadian edition) (standard disclaimer, harness adjustment is not roady worthy):
