Dumb Canard Question.

Good point, and the "nose on the ground" approach is arguably the best
solution. Just a matter of preference I guess. I'd just rather not
park my plane with the nose on the ground.

Neal,
The Velocity's have quite a bit more weight on the nose gear that the
typical EZ's do. The Velocity's are able to get away with this because they
have much larger canards (relative to the wing area) and slotted elevators
(like fowler flaps) which allow them to rotate at a reasonable speed. They
do have considerable runway runs, like all canards do, both take off and
landing.
