I was curious about this as well. To me, except for some styling issues, the 2016s seem to have some desirable traits such as cruise control and a slightly enhanced 103 engine.

The bike is scheduled to arrive at the dealer in about 3 weeks or so.
By then the weather probably will make a turn for the worse and a
home delivery will be in order.
My Slim trade in...

Wonderful! I am sure that you will love the bike. I hope that there is some riding weather for you to do the break-in.

Congrats on the new ride prerryross!
I liked the new Softail Slim so much that I traded my tricked out Road Glide on one two weeks ago. The 1st week I had the stage one kit put on it.
Everyday I cant wait to take a ride on it. It is super smooth and I really like the style.
I may change the air cleaner to a round bobber style and move the license plate to the lower swingarm area, and add round mirrors.... other than I think I am done.
I thought that I might miss the ABS and Cruise, but I don't. I don't take super long trips so this is a better fit for me right now. I thought that I would miss all the storage and the radio on the road glide, but I don't really miss those things at all. I added a swingarm bag for a little storage and the V&H bigshots take care of the radio part lol.
I did strongly consider the SlimS but it didn't seem like it was worth the extra money to me.
