I agree, cleaning super tall tanks is a pain. Luckly, I'm 6'6" and have arms to match the height. I'm fine cleaning my 135g(24 in deep). But I do clean a 210(36in deep) and there is nothing more frustrating than trying to scrape algae at the bottom of the tank.
Also factor in the deeper the tank, the less light gets to the bottom.
