29er good or bad for a Clydesdale

Hello all. Pretty new around here. Lots of good info and motivation on here.

I have a K2 Zed 2.0 26er I bought a couple years ago. Have never really rode as I always seem to lack motivation. I'm 6' 5" and the frame says it would fit someone 6'1" - 6'4". Never the less, the frame seems really tall to me. I've read that I should be able to lift the bike 2" on a mountain bike, and can barely lift it an inch.

So I randomly stopped at a LBS (Trek store), and started drooling over the 29" Trek Wahoo. Want to look around some more, but are 29ers even a good fit for a 6'5" clydesdale? Or are they better suited for shorter/lighter riders?
