What car seat can a toddler stay RF the longest? Height/weight

I think Evenflo has gone back and changed all their carseats to a 37in limit RF according to their website

Go on the FB page Car Seats for the Littles.  There's an entire file with recommended seats and there are several that RF to 40".

Anyone use any of these seats for extended rear facing?

My, DD2 is six year old is rear facing in a Foonf, but still fits in a RXT.  She is 39 pounds and stands 40 inches tall.  She road in the RXT until Friday when we switched convertibles around to get the youngest two out of their carriers.
I have a 26 pound, 33 inch tall two and a half year old RF in a RXT, he will eventually move into the Foonf when his sister grows out of it.  We adopted him in August, but have had custody of him since February.
I have a 1 year old RF her big sisters RXT.  We moved her out of her carrier on Friday.  She weighs 19 pounds 6 ounces.  She is 28 inches tall.  She is liking her new car seat.  I really like the RXT with the angel adjuster.
Our six month old, who is also adopted, is rear facing in a combi coccoro.  This won't last her long, but when DS goes into the Foonf, I will move her into his RXT.  She is 15 pounds 7 ounces. 
These are the only American convertible car seats I have used.  We moved when DD2 was nearly four.  We had to get new seats, as we moved from Canada.

Graco MySize70/Size4Me/Headwise - Rear faces to 40 lbs with an adjustable headrest. Height limit is whenever the head is less than 1" from the red actuator bar. I'm guessing it will rear face DD2 until around 43-44," which is when she should hit 40 lbs.

Diono Radian - Most models rear face to 45 lbs now. I'm guessing based on ours that DD2 will make it to about the same point as the MySize, but she'll outgrow this one by height before weight.

Clek Foonf - no experience, but rear facing height limit is 43" and weight limit is 50 lbs.

Chicco NextFit - I think this one is around the same size as the Radian.
