Default Why buy a softail deluxe instead of a Street Bob?

Guys, im thinking on the Softail Deluxe now. I need the lower bike i can get cause im really short... Got a 883 L now.

I was thinking about the Street Bob, is a nice bike and here the price is ok... Now the softail deluxe looks like a piece of art, is low, and is very nice, but much more expensive...

Sadly HD in Argentina are very expensive... 883 L 13k Street bob 22k Softail deluxe 30k

So what are the advantages of the Softail Deluxe?

Try to test ride both if you can.&nbsp\\; I know as a short rider you will feel very comfortable on the deluxe.&nbsp\\; A very beautiful bike with great handling.

The Deluxe is a girl's bike.

Don't buy it unless you are a girl!

Fly up to the states, buy one, and ride it home. It would be a hell of a trip.

Test ride both of them and don't let the difference in money be a factor.&nbsp\\; With the Deluxe you will likely feel more comfortable, in control&nbsp\\;and it will be a better ride (especially if you plan to haul a passenger).&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;The&nbsp\\;Deluxe&nbsp\ \;has a lot more chrome and will certainly turns heads for only about $3000 more.&nbsp\\; At 5'6" I am very much in control of my Deluxe and with the wife on the back weighing 120lbs, I don't even know she is&nbsp\\;back there most of the time.&nbsp\\;
