I'm 6'3" 200 pounds and have no problems with fitment on the Blaster. I do have a Maier race front end, I was banging my knees one the front fenders before that. Some have made more rider room with mods such as lowering the pegs, extending the swing arm, raising the stem and moving the rear fenders back. I owned a 400ex for a couple of months before I bought the Blaster. It was a real nice quad but I'm just not much for 4 strokes. I'm happy as I can be with the Blaster, I'm not interested in buying another quad made (but i would like to have a Banshee engine swapped into a YFZ450 chassis). I don't know how the Blaster would suit you but for me it's ideal....cheap buy in, plenty of upgrade options, very simple to learn to work on, light, nimble and a great support group to help you through the common illness associated with Blaster ownership ( the modding bug).
