Even so, heck how hard would a ~1 inch Zorro extender be to make? :-?

Easy ....

This is what you need:
2 PC-AT-Slots (the 100 pin ones for Zorro are hardto get).

2 PC-AT-cards (or one DEAD!!!! Zorro)

Cut the connector of the card(s), cut the AT-slots in a way to allow it to be
glued to one 100 pin slot. Solder the whole mess on what you had cut of from
the cards.

Sounds horriblle ? That's the way I made an A570 CD-ROM to work in
the Turbo-slot of my 1st A2000  :-o
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Why towering?
It seems less space-effective to me.

How do you fit 10 expansion cards, 2+ 3.5 floppy drives, 2+ 5&1/4 floppy drives, CDR, DVD, 3+ hard drives etc etc into a stock case :-?

@Redrumloa:
Elbox sells Zorro risers, not sure if that will help you much...

It's strange... I had a desktop 4000, now I have an Escom one and I would prefer to have a desktop (well, now that I'll have a prometheus it wouldn't be possible) due to the size it eats...
