Size 6 does let you trample twice as many units, and makes the trampling do a little bit more damage. That's the difference between C'tis/Arco's chariots and Caelum's/Kailasa's mammoths. I haven't noticed that chariots (or troglodytes) have any trouble at all walking all over indies, but it's possible that mammoths and Avvite chariots do better against national troops. I have limited experience with mammoths and none with MP so I'll decline to give an opinion there.

Troglodytes tend to die a lot because of their poor protection and relatively low hp.
Avvite chariots tend to trample T'ien Ch'i chariots very well, and when you compare the prices, Avvite chariots are a really good deal.
Avvite chariots also happen to have javelins. I know that it may look silly, but mass a lot of them and see how much damage these deal, just before trampling...
Last, contrary to other tramplers, Avvite chariots have 12 MR (twice as much as elephants). They are basically cheaper elephants with better morale, better MR, more weapons, less hit points but more protection (unless you compare them to LA Arco's armored elephants).
I think noone in their right mind would pay 3 elephants if they could get 4 Avvite chariots. Of course they are more expensive resource-wise (29 instead of 20) but you don't need to supplement them with higher morale troops, and you can really afford a production scale with Hinnom.
