Welcome,
I have a 2006 Heritage Classic that I really love the look and the seating position. It a nice ride for moderate trips. More nimble than the EG
I also have a 2002 Electraglide Classic not as nimble, is top heavy, but superb comfort for all day riding.
You have to decide what your type of riding will be, then if you could rent a couple to make up your mind. They say that the touring bikes handle well at low speeds but I find that the Heritage handles better at low speeds. Everybody is different.

Welcome aboard...from Ind.
as U see I have Heritage but they make different bikes for a reason..
mine fits my ridding habits perfect, but it might not fit yours.
Take your time, read, and ask ?'s, you will know which one should be in your garage...
