To be far the Wheels on my 26" are still going to look twice the size of BNs 29er Wheels.
Back when I was putting my 29er together I remember someone commenting that smaller wheels with more suspension travel would be better than bigger Wheels. That was back when 29ers had 80mm front travel and very little rear travel.
These days you can have both. Even XC 29er forks have 100mm travel. But at my height you really need to watch the stack. Which is why I went 26". I then bought a X-fusion slant. Which has a massive A-C because they use the same fork for both 650 and 26". Although to be fair. The low A-C options were all 32mm stantions I think. The Float 34 was only 7mm Shorter.
