I've been thinking about getting a bent with USS for loaded touring. Can anyone suggest a good model?

Absolutely! The Longbikes Eliminator is an excellent choice:
Here's BROL's review of it: http://www.bentrideronline.com/reviews/Eliminator/eliminatorg2.htm (http://)
The HP Velotechnik is also an excellent choice:
BROL has reviewed it too: http://www.bentrideronline.com/reviews/smgte/smgte.htm

Also the Longbikes Slipstream, Both of my USS/LWB bikes have been used for loaded touring, as well as my USS/SWB. I do find that I like USS if I'm going to spend hours on the bike. The best thing to do is try each of them, then make up your mind as to what fits you best.

Wow, the Eliminator sure looks like it was designed with touring in mind, doesn't it? ;)
As long as you can strap a couple racks all over the bike, and the bike can support the weight, it should work...

Optima Condor (http://www.optima-cycles.nl/eng/2-02-1.htm) if you're at least 6ft tall and don't mind riding high. It's stainless steel and just about indestructible, and believe me I try :)
