crossing over from harley to honda? any experience with this?

i was driving around today and ended up in a honda powersports dealer since i drive past it often i figured i would drop in. i fell in love with a VTX1800N, it's discounted to $9995 i guess overstock 09 could even be an 08 i didn't think to look until i left. i like my harley but jesus i can't even get an iron 883 for that price OTD and the VTX 1800 is four times the bike...

i'm sure there's tons in this forum but i'll gear this question towards anyone with experience of both harley's and honda's. how does this bike stack up to a softail or even a dyna. for the price of the new VTX i would be lucky to get a 10 year old dyna with 20,000 miles on it.

the dealer only had one in yellow and one with red flames and i'm pretty adamant about plain black, he's calling another dealer to see if they have one on a similar deal
