It seems like an expensive option to a relatively simple solution. If you like the other bike more then go for it by all means. 
This guy fabricated a hood for the nav unit; maybe a 20 dollar fix.

Mainly the paint job I like is not available on the limited. I also thought that it would be nice to take off the lowers in hot weather if I like. Not an option on the M8 limited. What does the limited get that the Ultra does not? heated grips and dual cooling, painted inner faring. Bike I want has the upgrade of nav and security. Wheels a little different. LTD 2k more. What am i missing?

Yep, RGS ride is a bit tooth jarring. I knew it was a bit but I thought an adjustment was all it needed. Nope.

Are you certain the EG fairing will prevent the glare? Also are you
ready for the extra weight, with the tour pack loaded a lot of it up high.
If so my advice is get to the dealer tomorrow morning and do the deal.
However a phone call price is not binding. Do not be surprised if they
discover an "honest error" in the price.
Just me, I would happily block out the screen.
I ride to ride, not look at the dash.
Maybe put a mirror there so I could admire myself. Wait,
might be some glare with a mirror. Never mind.

screen is down low so any reflection from the sun would not hit my eyes. EG screen points to your abdomen. The RGS screen points to the top of head.
Calling dealer in morning to put deposit and will ride there in afternoon to make deal and ride home new bike. I test rode limited with tour pak and did notice the extra weight up top but many ride it with no problems and I believe it will be the same for me. RGS was strange as well comiing off a soft tail but got use to it quick. I was going to get a chopped pak for RGS anyway if I kept it. I ride to ride as well but the whole point of me getting rid of my soft tail was for long ride comfort with all the extras. As far as them discovering the pricing error, I would not be shocked but will try to hold them to the verbal if they do. They will still make money... none if I walk away. All good questions and points. Thanks.
