It is quite the personal decision

Both knees are shot, so the upright position and footpegs on the Wing didn't work. The Harley is much more comfortable. Just starting to look, my thought was to go with the seating most similar to my Harley.
I'm sort of bewildered by the blizzard of different models. Can you buy a base model and add all the extras? I've seen Corbin bags, for example, that look better than the OEM ones. I assume it's the same with stereos, shocks, etc.
Make sure you get a demo ride on each. Sounds like you enjoy the open road and both will give you a very dependable platform to rack up some miles. My last bike was a Road King, and I really like the 6 speed, and storage I have on a 15 RT base model. One of these days I'll add some floorboards, but for now Lamonsters NBV brackets and pegs give me some place to move my feet. I enjoy the lower center of gravity and sporty ride of the F3, but after 27,000 miles on the RT its still my ride of choice. To each their own:yes:
