New Member In Search Of Info

Hello all, I currently ride a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50 and have been considering transitioning to 3 wheels for a few years now. I'm most likely going to make my purchase in the spring of next year and am starting to do the research and info collecting now in preparation for that. I'm sure I'm not the first to have such a post and I will do my best to stay away from oil and tire questions.
I have lurked around for a bit and finally decided it was time to join the community and try and gain the knowledge I need.
I live in Ontario Canada and have a BRP dealer not more than 15 minutes from my house and took an RT LTD for a test drive last year with my wife. They told me what route to ride and said if I wasn't back in 15 minutes they would come looking for me. When I asked if I could take a longer ride I was told NO. I asked if I could rent one for a day to better get the feel of it, again the answer was no they don't rent them out....
I did some on line searches for Spyder rentals in Ontario and came up empty. There are several in Quebec and I am in the midst of trying to rent one in September so my wife and I can get some time on it. Originally I was thinking of purchasing an RT LTD because I wanted the air suspension in the rear thinking the ride will be softer then my Boulevard for my wife and also the heated grips and seat. The place I'm hoping to rent from only has a F3 LTD available on the weekend I can go and I have come to find out that it has the rear air suspension which was a pleasant surprise. I have also come to learn that you can also get the heated seat and grips on the F3 LTD. So my first question is do all F3 LTD have this or only after a certain year?
I'm also wanting one with the 1330 and SE6 which if I'm remembering correctly started in 2014, if I'm wrong please correct me.
I will most likely be buying a used Spyder so please feel free to give me some tips on things to look for since my Spyder knowledge is pretty much nil at this time.
I'll end it here for now before this gets to lengthy and I bore everybody, thanks.
