Not sure if this is helpful, but here goes ...
I owned an '84 Nighthawk CB750S and wished I never sold it.
Was it perfect? No.
Was it near perfect and cool (for me)? Yes.
Is it collectible today? You bet.
Was it sentimental? Yes. I miss the darn thing.
= = =
I owned a '14 CB1100 and eventually sold it.
Does it have a crappy final chain drive? Yes.
Was it perfect? No.
Was it near perfect and cool (for me)? Yes.
Is it collectible today? Perhaps.
Was it sentimental? It was.
Was it better than the '84 CB750S? Yes.
= = =
The innate feeling, power, quality, low cost of ownership and Forum support would make me pick the CB1100 (even with final chain drive) over the CB750S. That wasn't easy to type down.
As always promised to any rider, it will be the last bike you will ever need to own.
Good luck on your ultimate choices.
