Default crossbones or rocker?

i'm thinking about getting another bike. i'm on the fence on which one to get. i'm looking at a 09 crossbones or a 08 rocker. both bikes are brand new. i can get the rocker otd for 15999.00 and the crossbones for 17800.00. i already own a 07 road king. not sure if i'll use it as a trade in. what to do?

Agree wit Cammy on the split opinions... Both great bikes, however very different look... Pick the one you see yourself riding in....

Being a Crossbone guy, I'd say Crossbone.
BUT If you're truly "On The Fence", think about this:
You can put a "Rocker" style fender on a Crossbone, cheaper than a springer on a Rocker.
If that isn't your plan, than I got nothing

I like the rocker better but only after the rear has been done. Like a Heartland kit or something. Stock for stock, I like the X-Bones better.
