But doesn't a lot depend on planning and intended use? Presumably someone who shells out the dough for a Bombadil is going to put a lot of thought into fit and function. If the Bullmoose work well for your intended use then the lack of adjustability is not a problem.
My camper has a threaded stem and drop bars because I like to change set up depending on where I am riding. However, I have seen a lot of fellow tourers who have threadless stems with minimal spacers on them (meaning no room for up and down adjustment) and flat bars. I guess they can always flip or change the stem and put on different handlebars. But you can always take the Bullmoose off and put on another stem and bars as well. I imagine Nitto Bullmoose are going to be rugged as heck. Probably a good choice - if expensive and not for the many - for off road camping imo.
