Height can HURT an interior DLmen, in that it gives him a higher center of gravity and makes it easier to get under his pads.

Yeah, most tall DTs don't work on their lower body strength.

Or they aren't taught to stay low and get under the OL's pads.

There's individual battles on every play and I'm taking the 6'6 DT in every single one of them over the 6'1 DT.

Short OL are superb pass rushers but are often abused in 4-3 schemes when not used to shoot gaps. You'll find that out this year.
