Thank you for the well reasoned and thoughtful posts for the selection of either bike, with the majority favoring the DLX, even with the $3500 difference in selling price. This is exactly the kind of experience and knowledge I was looking for. I really wish there was a CB1100 close enough to sit on and ride.
Frulk, I laughed at the mention of a "good Montana head wind" as it seems that 80% of my riding here in Montana can be described like that. I also love the ST1300 on the freeways, and the weight on those crazy windy days, but much of my/our riding is exploring two lanes in places we've never seen here in MT. Easier maneuverability sounds great.
Lord Popgun thanks for the link to the list of differences in a post by Ferret. Lays it all out. Tev62 I have a 31" inseam and my wife is 5' 5" so the ergos should be fine, but you never know for sure until you actually sit on the bike.
Again thank you for taking the time to post!
