Funny I stumbled across this thread. I recently bought a brand new '09 FXD, and saved over $1600 by doing that.
The only difference I could find was the 5th gear change, and the tires. The alleged issues with the 5th gear "whine" don't bother me, and I wasn't going to pay $1600 more for different tires.

I was torn between the FXD and the FXDC. One of the main concerns I had was the speedometer on the FXD. I knew I was going to put pull back risers on it and that really messes with the speedo angle. Another thing I liked better about the FXDC was the key location. A lot more convenient than the FXD. Most of the time I just unlock the ignition, put the key in my pocket and ride all day.
Not to mention I also like the chrome and black engine.

Things that are hard or expensive to change.
Other things like tires your gonna be changin anyway...bars/pegs etc...are stuff you will likely want to modify to make it your own...so concentrate on what you want in as a 'base model' as that can't be modified easily.
Good luck and ride safe
