If absolute stiffness is a priority, don't get a Bob - it'll probably feel a bit soft compared to the Pre Cursa. However, if you just don't want something that's noodly, you don't need to worry. It's a lot stiffer than your average '80s steel road bike.
I actually don't mind a bit less stiffness sometimes - if I ride my 853 Feather day in day out, I can start to feel it in my joints and neck after a week or so (even though it doesn't feel harsh to ride, quite the opposite). The Bob has the lumpier ride but it doesn't take as much of a toll on my ageing body.
Stiff cranks and strong wheels and you'll be absolutely fine.
And then sell three of your fixed bikes and get a custom. ;)
