I'd still do the Troll for a commuter bike. The Ogre would allow for large 29" tires, but they would be pretty slow and heavy for commuting. Also, 29" wheels are heavier and not as strong as comparable 26" wheels.

As it is, the Troll has plenty of clearance for 700x35, which is the largest 700c tire I would use for commuting, and there is probably enough room for 700x45 or perhaps even larger. Also, the 26" wheels with 2.35" BAs are a great combination for offroad ride comfort without sacrificing too much speed on the road.
