I've seen people say different things about longer legs vs longer torso. I've seen some say it depends on your height and that longer legs on an average/short height guy is better because it will make you look taller than you are, and that long torso on a tall height guy is better because your legs will already be tall enough (idk about this one).

I think male models are actually more balanced than some people say, but they still usually lean more on the long legged side, and they are all around 6 ft+, do you think this would still hold true at 6'6" or no?

This guy for example (Ariyan Akaltun) is around 6'0.5" and I'm not sure on the exact ratio it might be around 52.5% legs (correct me if this is wrong), is this still inside or outside ideal leg to torso ratio ?

So where do you stand on this, do you think longer legs or longer torso is always better, do you think it changes depending on height? What leg or torso % does it become unideal?
 
On one hand, the traditional hero physique is known for longer legs and a short but muscular broad torso, but on the other hand long torso correlates more with shoulder width than height does.

Just for the sake of discussion, imagine they have equal shoulder breadth/frame, the only difference being relative leg/torso length. Does that advantage of long torso being remove tilt the scales or no?
