The 30 mile return trip was much smoother than the 30 miles out. So I guess the ride got better as I got used to it.

A few points to consider:
1) If pulling two kids in the trailer was tough, definitely stick with the MTB and its lower gears. You never know when the 5 year old is going to be more or less helpful on the TAB.

2) The wider bars on the MTB will give you greater control at low speeds.

3) As somebody mentioned, the only real problem I noticed was the TAB lifting my back wheel when breaking to a stop on a downhill. I quickly recovered and made a mental note not to let my weight move off the seat in such conditions. No further problem.

The tandem + TAB combo looks great! I can't wait til our youngest is big enough for that.
