I'm trying to construct a shape that is equivalent to a cone with a
circular base and an elliptical top. I've managed to create a mesh with
this shape, but was wondering if there's a way to create a normal solid,
non-mesh version too. Thanks.

Meshes can be made solid, but there's a quartic primitive with that
shape available in the standard libraries. Check Supercone here:

Awesome, thanks! But is this one of those shapes that bring render times
to a crawl? (I'm thinking isosurfaces and parametric surfaces here.)

No, it's pretty fast to render (although a mesh will probably render
even faster).
