Okay, big surprise here! I'm sure I won't be too popular;-)
Why should "YOUR" opinion make you unpopular? You made YOUR choice based on your wants and needs. Just because its different from somebody elses doesn't necessarily make it any more or less valid, its your opinion.
You need to remeber opinions are like a$$ holes, everyone has one and they all stink.
In this particular case however your opinion is entirely valid, the man is looking for "opinions" on the avalabe chioces HD offers. Just because he didn't specify a "bagger" doesnt mean that it might not be an excellent choice based on his stated needs.
All we can do is offer him our "opinions" of the bikes we ride and why we like them.
He's the one who's going to make the final decision and pay the money.
So while giving him another option may add more confusion its not something that should be ignored.

the new sporsters are rubber mounted and when new they seem great after a few thousand miles the vibration seems to get a little worst. I would say the softail would have a better ride in general
