I'm 6'6" and yeah, whilst what you say is true to an extent, being tall is way better.
When you fill in your frame you get to be top tier, it just takes longer.
You know though if you were just 1 or 2 inches taller things would start getting very annoying for you. 6'6" is basically as tall as you can be without starting to REALLY not fit every day life things. My cousins are 6'9" and 6'11", they can't do anything without it being awkward lol. You and I are just below that level thankfully.
