I'm glad you are enjoying the G16. Once nice thing with being stoked about a niche ride is that there are not that many similar options to catch your eye! For the coast a higher BB and a slacker front end is a beautiful thing.
I gave up bike diapers a bit over 10yrs ago and never looked back. Finding the right saddle was key and took a lot of luck and some experimentation, but it's been well worth it.
I made the move to a 29er on a niche brand last year and have been in love since. I was really concerned I'd miss certain things about the smaller wheels, but really the downsides have been quite limited and I don't see myself going back. On one hand I wish I had tried wagon wheels earlier and on the other I am glad I waited for the geo to mature.
Have fun on the G16 for another year or more. The longer you wait the bigger an upgrade you get for your money.
