I have an Atlantis and a Bombadil; they were similar enough in function (actually, VERY similar) that I stripped the Bomba and am in the process of rebuilding it as a Bullmoose barred, Rohloff-equipped bike of the apocalypse. Which I guess is a roundabout way of saying that I agree with those who are urging you not to make an Atlantis and a Bomba/Hunq your two Riv bikes -- there's a lot of better variety in their offerings, especially the Homer.

I started with an AHH and then added a Bombadil with the idea that the AHH would be my road bike and the Bomba would be my MTB/eventual touring & camping bike. Both with 700c wheels. The Bombadil proved to be too large and I exchanged it for an Atlantis that ia virtually identical in it's geometry to the AHH which fit perfectly. The smaller Bomba was for 650b tires and I wanted to have the same wheels for both. I second Ray that if you only get one bike, it should be the Atlantis with the extra wheelset The second shouldn't be a Bomba or Hunqua, it should be a Homer. An Atlamtis and a Bba/Hunqua is like having two for the same purpose. The idea of two Atlantis with different bar configurations is quite intriguing... But I'd rather experwnt first, choose the preferred setup and have one bike of each: AHH + Atlantis. I just love them!
