Default Opinions Please!!! StreetGlide versus RoadGlide

So I am looking for opinions from people on Street Glides versus Road Glide. I am going to be going from a Super Glide to a new bike a little later this year(August or so). SO I have ridin both of the 2011 models and really like both of them, in fact absolutely awesome to ride. Anyway I am looking for opinions, pluses and minuses on the two. I wanna get as much info as I can before I go sign on the line ya know. Sorry so long winded. I look forward to some great info though.
Thanks

I currently ride a Street Glide. My next bike will be a Road Glide Ultra.

Street Glide all the way. Nothing wrong with a Road Glide but I just think the SG looks better. Beyond that I think both bikes are close for features.

I ride a Street Glide. Never did like the looks of the Road Glide but have to admit they are growing on me.

Try to ride both and make up your own mind. You are the one paying for it. I have a 09 Street Glide. Have seen both look good and bad. Depends on if you use good taste when you decide to customize it. All I can say is I have seen alot of Road Glides coming at me and thought they were Goldwings.Thats why I have a SG. In march of 09' I was in the same boat.I just had more love for the bat wing.
