Default cessna 340 vs 421

I flew a 421 (straight wing) several years ago for some partners, nice
paint, Lilac interior. Low teens was the norm for my stage length (250
nm). The geared engines are quiet however tended to growl a bit while
reducing power in the downwind as the propllers tend to drive the
engines. I see folks on Flightaware flying these up in the flight
levels, they must be hanging on the props.

I am trying to decide between those 2.

I am tempted towards the 340 because of the high ceiling and towards the
421 because of the more space. I am dubious about cabin legroom in the
340. I am 6'2".
