I'm not altogether sold on the aesthetics of the Bogbi, but will wait with interest to see what the price is. Looking at it I'm sure it's going to be at least the same price as an Omnium which is still my preferred option at this stage.
I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, but I have visions of setting the omnium up long and low like my commuter with drop bars and Thomson finishing kit.

The Bogbi is targeted more as a "family hauler" that also happens to do cargo, or that is what they stated in the mail they sent me. Which is probably marketing speak for, it will cost boatloads of cash.
The omnium is still a nice bike, but the design needs some updating to modern-ish standards.

Omnium geometry does look like it'd be ideal for drops. I've been tempted to give them a go but it'd mean a new set of brakes and shifters, and would have a bit of an impact on cargo capacity.

I can't imagine drops on a cargo bike. Risers are great for manoeuvring at slow speed with loads of weight. I guess it depends what you use it for though. For work I only really ride about 2 miles in a run but can make about 20 stops in that time so comfort over a long distance isn't important at all.
