Fair enough. TBH it was more of a reply on a previous comment, as if the higher platform on the Omnium would somehow be an surmountable obstacle to carrying weight, when it's obviously not the case.
It makes a difference, but I'd recon a lot of the folks on here riding Omniums were used to previously carrying weight on porteur racks mounted to track bikes and don't really notice. Having the weight between the wheels rather than above the front wheel is objectively more stable for carry any sort of weight. Bullitts are also a lot stiffer than Omniums when loaded down.
Is it a huge safety concern? No. Is it in an objective advantage? Yes.
