Ogre or Troll

Help me decide! I was dead set on the Troll and then stopped in a bike shop and was told that the Ogre rolls better due to the larger wheels. Now I do believe he was right and I already figured that. But I've read many posts about the two and it seems like the Troll is the preferred machine from a popularity standpoint.
Another thing I was told is that the troll, with its smaller wheels, is generally more suited to a smaller rider and that the wheels and frame are both scaled down together. Once again, something I already had figured.
I'm 6' tall. I'm new at this style of bike. I'll be on the road 95+ percent of the time. However, that could change when I experiment with off road riding and find that I like it.
At 50 years old, I'm not going to be doing anything too crazy....
So, I understand the benefits of the larger wheels. What am I missing about the Troll wheel size and/or geometry that is a positive over the Ogre??? Thanks.

P.S. I won't be going to Pakistan or any other far away land any time soon. So availability of parts/tires is not a consideration.
