The frustrating but work aroundable possible issue with an eccentric and external bearing BBs is that they might cover the peg holes in the eccentric (used to rotate the unit for chain tensioning). When i worked in a tandem shop about 5 years ago we had this problem a few times. Not a deal breaker but when your customer is spending 10K for a bike... As I mentioned there are other ways to grab the eccentric. Andy.
