Nice job
IF you decide to change the handels an idea is to put them in the corner between where the bar comes up and where it goes back like a gussett. I did that for my wife to get in and out but I used some thing wall 1" hrew for that.
I agree that it would be a better place for strength and to keep them inside the cage. The problem is that it wouldn't work with the visors. To allow the leaf windows and visors to still be functional I leaned the top of the front legs in more than the norm. This allows both to work normally with no interference, but I do sacrifice a blind spot and less rollover protection at the top of the doors.
The location I used allows them to be used to help access to the EB with the doors open. They fit very close to the top of the doors when closed, you can't get your hands in them. I also used the heavier material to provide some protection at the top of the doors for that just in case scenario. With the front legs leaning in more I had less protection in the area around the tops of the doors.
But it is still primarily a daily driver and won't see a lot of serious trail use. I have plans for another rig for the trail at a later date, it will be setup different. I will not be looking at convienence and comfort issues such as leaf windows and visors for it. Everything will be kept inside in a more conventional manner, but I think this will work for the purpose of this rig.
