I liked the disc trucker better primarily due to the dropouts, so I sold the troll. Disc trucker tires only go up to 2.0 with fenders. I might be able to pull off a 2.1 without the fenders.
Re fenders and rear wheel removal, I purposely left space between tires and fenders, and this amount is enough to remove the rear wheel easily. In my case, I didn't mind the space as I was thinking of mud buildup possibilities, but with regular tight clearance the horizontal dropouts could be an issue.
