4' walls really depends on how you use the tent. If you put your cots right against the wall you will find it pretty tight, especially if you are taller than 5' 8" and or a bigger guy. If you want to use bunk beds then the 4' wall is not going to make you happy at all. If you use air mattress on the ground or the real low cots then the 4' wall is not near as big an issue.
I have owned 4 and 5' walled tents, I even had one that was 5 1/2 foot walls. Taller wall is better, especially if you have more than a couple of guys in the tent, and the reduction in roof slope was never an issue. Even in heavy snow it was not an issue as we used tarps over the tens anyhow. You will have a harder time selling short sidewall tents but if it is cheap enough and you can't get anything else you might as well give it a try.
Never owned Grizzly brand so can't help there.
