I guess that makes sense.
I didn't like the handling of the bullit when I borrowed one. I think it's the vertical head tube. Felt very twitchy and I felt unstable when taking one hand off to signal whereas the omnium feels much like a normal bike

Most long john have a vertical head tube, its the rest of the geo. Once used to it you can ride no worries. Omnium use a different ratio (its not a linear relationship, but done in kind of a basic way) so you can wobble bars around 10-20 degree's and front wheel doesn't turn as far as that.
They all feel weird if you go between a regular bike and a cargo, omnium is probably the most 'change between bikes' friendly ;) -
@PhilDAS you should test ride a Douze. Far superior handling to a Bullitt and the tight turning circle thanks to the cable steering makes manoeuvring a loaded bike in tight spaces so much easier. My wife loves riding our Douze and has done since day one. She refused to ride the Bullitt we had on test once she had ridden the Douze.

Forward facing low down child carrying is the big one. Carrying a little one on an omnium is I'd say 80%good. The fact that the bars punch them in face in a crash is a big downside
