I think it's actually a more appropriate hub for a work bike than the Rohloff. Not to say the Rohloff is not a piece of engineering perfection, but with the NuVinci's heft I subjectively think it is more capable of handling heavy loads than the Rohloff. And given it's price I'm willing to overload my bike where I was more hesitant with the Rohloff.

And no other hub I've had other than the Rohloff feels as nice as the NuVinci.

Side note:
I cracked a SA-8 and the SRAM 5 and SRAM 7 could not handle the torque of my Giant causing them to constantly slip gears.

Had no problems with the Rohloff, I just did not want to risk killing it.
