shopping the CB1100

The way I read your message, you are doing the long commutes only once or twice a month. That leaves the other 28 to 29 days for shorter rides around town/commutes. Can the CB handle the 270 mile round-trip without a windscreen? Easily. Are there other bikes that handle high speed, interstate travel more easily and with greater comfort? Certainly. But seeing how that is a regular but infrequent occurrence, I say get the bike you really want (the CB) and you'll be extremely happy for the vast majority of your riding and just fine on those days when you find yourself going greater distances.
