The Boxter design comes to mind, even one with a somewhat slanted hatch. Sure would make the hatch a lot easier to build, and allow the cook to get closer to the galley.
Other than tradition, is there any reason why more of us don't build square backs?

I have to third Rocky and Rich, the squareback just looks ugly.

You can do it, stay focused and don't feel overwhelmed. Why did you not finish the first two?
The height is fine, but not really an issue, I don't read in bed and any movie watching will be either from the galley or setting the laptop on top of the mattress pad.
As far as the first two, the first was getting to heavy for my car (500lbs+, just walls, floor and trailer.) I started building the second out of steel, but decided that I'd be better off to go back to working in wood.
