I can update, following further inspection of both boots at Schuh in Brighton yesterday. The Jeffrey Wests have heels of 55mm (a shade over 2.125") and the Cuban highs are 45mm (1.75"). Both have a similar tapered but not unduly pointed toe. Nice, smart but not extreme!

Nothing else of interest found in mainstream Brighton (but I guess one or two of the 'designer' shops there will have a cuban heel or two at higher prices). The tiny Faith shop does not stock men's styles - yet.
