Default New pipes?

My dealer cracked one of my slip-ons (Jackpot 4.5 touring megaphones by FuelMoto) bad enough that I have an exhaust leak - they put the clamp on in the wrong place or over tightened it, most likely both given where the crack is. It's an almost perfect circle but 3 or 4 inches back from where the slip-on mates to the header. Makes an impressive rattle. I'll be taken care of by the dealer but I'm wondering should I switch. I really like the sound and tone of the 4.5 touring but since it's free, should I change up? I want a deep tone that's not brutally loud at idle or cruise but is when I'm hard on the throttle. The jackpots have a great tone that is noticeably unique. V&H would be my last choice as everyone around here runs those. How are the Bassani or Cobra? Anyone have experience with those on a 110 twin-cooled?
