Ok.
quality steel
decently speced
affordably priced
clearance for fatter tires and fenders and fender eyelets!
more relaxed, road geometry (for those who are into that)
clean, modern look
for me personally:
available in 58 (unless they've changed the sizing for 2008 which I doubt), and hopefully as a frameset
It's gonna be the Pista Concept for geezers like me.

I didn't realize how dumb that sounded. No; I had bullhorns on my conversion that got stolen , I got a Paddy as a replacement, don't like how shallow the drops are and I wanna go back to bullhorn because I found them way better for stretching out on the bike and climbing. The stock drops on the Paddy are too shallow and short for my taste, not enough depth in them for serious climbing. Also, I find that I'm riding on the brake hoods most of the time, right around where the horns would end. Grok?

I've got my LBS checking on ordering this frameset. The LBS guy told me that the Kona rep said there will also be a version with track ends, a derailleur hanger, and downtube shifter bosses.
