I rode both a Pugsley and a Moonlander at Jim's shop, Hiawatha Cyclery in Minneapolis. For me, the wide bottom bracket was not an issue at all and I was expecting it to be. The bikes where nowhere near as cumbersome or clumsy feeling as I was expecting. I could see having all kinds of fun on one of them. I've got fat bike fever now.
