I went from a SuperGlide to my RoadGlide Ultra and I have not looked back. Its just too easy to eat up miles. Today I left the house at about noon and wandered for six hours. I think it was about 270 or so miles. So go rent the one you are thinking about and spend a day or a weekend on it. I know it seems like a lot of money to rent one, but its a lot of money to buy what you want. Go rent one, try it on the roads you roam on and that will help you decide.

You answered your own question with your final statement.

"when i ride 100 miles it feels like 500"

Do it and like some many others, you'll never look back.

I'm obviously biased, but the Ultra Limited is the best ride all around. Very smooth, easy to handle, plenty of power, great storage, and they look good too.

The Touring models make road trips a joy. Despite their size they handle very nicely and are COMFY. I can gobble up 600-800 miles a day no problem on the Road King. I've got it set up so I can mount the King TourPak and GPS in just a few minutes.
