Here is a visualization of the build volume. It is 260mm tall at it highest. It is 235mm tall close to the screws. (It was a pleasant surprise to see that the top of the build volume is almost flat. I thought the difference between the sides and the top would be bigger than 25mm.) It has a volume of 9.34L. To put that in perspective, an 8" Prusa i3 has a 7.6L volume.

Here you can see the biggest circle and square that you can fit in the area.
I usually just think of the volume as a 200mm diameter by 235mm tall cylinder. That simple approximation is 7.38L or 79% of the true volume.
I really need to see if I can mod Slic3r or Cura to show the outline of the build area to help with part layout.
One other note. Using the equation in my post above to figure out what a practical max height would be for the build volume when I transition to the 7/16" screws, I determined I can add 250mm to the z before I need to bump up the size of the screw again. (That is if I keep the screw spacing the same. If I move the screws out, I lose some height. If I move to a 300mm diameter build area it could be 350+mm tall.) To be clear, I don't plan on increasing the size of LISA.
