If the issue is leg room have you considered a more upright seating arrangement? IT seems like a lot of the standard kid hauling boxes put them pretty low which i could see leaving them cramped but I have seen some more upright boxes here in the DACH that I would assume solve this. Not the best example but kid of:
-
another bad example of a tall box

Load 75 isn’t super roomy either length or width. Just had 2x7yo & a 4yo in it and it’s was a squeeze. No option for the wide boxes pictured above cos of the frame at the side of box

Bullitts are approx 67-68cm long at the shortest. Load 75cm is 75cm or just a bit less not really worth the change. Packster 40 and 60 are smaller than Bullitt, Packster 80 is larger.
Its a COMMON thing that folk seem to think Bullitts are really small and would love to know where this comes from, some magazine review from a decade ago maybe? What Bullitt need to do is update the canopy design and seats for kids over 4 years old, if they did that they'd certainly be back in the game.
Main thing with any long john is not the length, as kids grow their legs get very long very quick. Having the seat for them not flat on the floor but up a bit (like newer R+M and UA with their bucket designs) allows legs to go below the level of the seat/floor = more useful for larger kid carrying TBH.
Think the top R+M design has the best in industry larger kid design for a long john, 1 forward facing bench with deep recess for legs, and 1 rear facing seat with storage under both. Very good, but £9k. UA family (XL version?) Also good. BUild quality of UA since 2019.5> is fine.
Having a mega long bike just causes other issues, weight, cost, complexity, flex, handling compromises etc.

Have had a search but only seen comments about Riess & Mullers getting delayed a lot.
I was considering upgrading my Bullitt to electric but the eldest complains that it's not roomy enough and she's only going to get taller. R&M have a 75cm long space, with footwell and a rear facing seat which I reckon will probably keep us going for a few years extra.
Any words of caution?
Looks like one is in stock at fullycharged any comments on them as a dealer?
