The best bang for your buck as far as touring bikes is still the EG Standard, hands down! It's cheaper than a Road King and has more options!

RE: Difference in Electriguilde n StreetGluide
A friend and I rented both a Street Glide and Electra Glide Classic together, and each of us put 150 miles on each one, both highway and backroad miles. They have unique handling characteristics. The SG seems to hug the road closer, with a little stiffer ride due the the low profile shocks. The EGC seems to handle the bumps better and seemed more effortless to ride in comparison.
In the end, I decided to get the EGC and make the tourpack convertible, and am adding a detachable backrest and luggage rack to it. I can then switch them out at will.
I think they are both great bikes and you cannot really go wrong with either one. But I would not assume they ride the same, because they do not. I would strongly recommend renting one and putting some miles on each to decide, versus a test ride around the block.
