Tony, I'm 6'1" with a PBH of 91. Our tandem has 26" wheels, with Marathon Racer tires, 1.6. The only draw back I've found is finding a front bag tall enough to bring a map into reading range. However, if I had it to do over again I would probably go with 650b. I think the frame geometry would work a bit better and now that I have two 650b bikes I've discovered how good the tire selection is. I really like the pari-moto and 38mm and the tires from Compass are all very good.
