I doubt height has much to do with it. I'm 6'4" with a 6'5" armspan, and didn't really like the eye box on the Conquest 3-9x40 I had. I love the 4200 3-9x40 I have, though, and the VX2 3-9x40 on another rifle I have is also great. No better, no worse.
Seems like it's probably more related to your face structure, gun fit, and personal preference...
Something that DOES drive me a little nuts is variable eye relief. The Burris FFII 3-9x40 I have on one rifle is noticeable on this. One reason I used to stay away from Leupolds is their advertised "range" of eye relief. But after taking the plunge, it isn't really noticeable on my VX2.
