Mini-max handling is even closer to a normal bike, shorter wheelbase, snappier steering.
Obviously it's not as useful if you are carrying very bulky/long items but you can fit extender bars or in my experience, if something (like a surfboard) is longer than the front of the rack, you can just strap it down at the back. Although having a longer rack on the Omnium Cargo means if you have items that are high you can move them further away from your bars so it doesn't affect your steering.
Also the mini-max is just above head height when stood on its end so it's easier to store.

I bought a Mini-Max as I don't need the extra carrying capability on a regular basis, for me it's a daily that happens to be able to carry stuff when needed. I have the extended bar that has proven useful for larger items (including a 2m long table top). I like the fact it's a lovely bike to ride regardless of it being a cargo bike, it's not just a load carrying tool.

Omnium bikes handle much better, also as someone who regularly carries heavy loads on both, one notable thing that is much easier on the Omnium is lifting the front wheel up onto a high curb, sounds minor but for me at least, it ends up being quite important.
