I think this pic might just seal the deal for me! You know they say coping is the greatest form for flattery. There might be a clone of yours on the West Coast SF Bay Area in the not to distant future.

I'm biased towards the softails. i love my Lo and have it set just right for me. I like the look of the Slim and would have thought hard on it if it was around in 2010. the only Dyna I like is the Wideglide.

To me that is like asking Corvette or Silverado. They are in a different family and provide two very different rides. I would first decide if I like the Dyna vs. Softail. Once you decide on a family of bikes, it would be easier to decide on a model. Just my 2 cents...

Dont know if you made your decision yet but just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.
I came form a 07 street bob with denim paint... I never washed it...when i did i barely did. I removed the mini apes and put on fatbob drag bars... IT was a great handling bike... plenty of power for me.....
I sold it and a year later i bought the slim... two differnet beasts.... I ride slower on the slim...and enjoy the ride.... I changed the hollywoods to 14in apes and just ride.
I had the st bob from 21-25 and bought the slim at 26.
Just depends how you plan on riding i suppose.

Can't comment on any ride but my slim, LOVE it! Smooth ride. And everywhere I go, people ask me about her. "Which one is this?"... "Never seen a Slim before." ... "Gorgeous bike!" And it's basically stock.
Good luck choosing!
