Both nice bikes. Hard to choose on those two. If at least one of those have efi, I would lean towards that one. I like my Venture but the one thing I truly hate is pulling all that plastic and the carbs, cleaning them and putting it back together. Connecting the crankcase ventilation tube can take 45 minutes to get back on when I am lucky. Oh, and you always risk the chance of cracking the plastic each time you jack with it.
