All great advice guys, I was leaning towards the Hunq for a while
because it doese look beautiful but from the pics the headtube looks
really small on the 54 (the one I would fit on) so I was worried it
would be flexy in the cockpit area if I had too much stem exposed,
even if it is a nitto stem and all.

I haven't done the arithmetic. But I'd be surprised if the top of the head
tube on the 58cm Atlantis was more than a millimeter or two higher than the
top of the head tube on a 54cm Hunqapillar. The Atlantis might even be a
tiny bit lower.
The standover on the Atlantis is 4 millimeters higher. But the Hunqapillar's
top tube angles up more. It's gonna be really close either way.
In any event, I would really not expect flex to be more of an issue on one
versus the other.
As a person who often rides with a maximally exposed Dirt Drop 100 stem, I
notice no significant flex in any of my Nitto cockpits. I wouldn't even
contemplate it as a distinguishing factor between these models. Now, I'm
probably not the best test of flex tolerability, though... my butt virtually
never leaves the saddle.
