The biggest downside of being tall is probably the significantly reduced lifespan. I've read that 10cm's above average equal to 6 years less. That's baisically the only real advantage of being short.
I'm sure that it must be pretty awesome to tower above everyone else, although I'd rather be 1,85 than 2m.

.. I believe 190 is the perfect height for any man. Above that, sharply decreasing marginal returns.
