I think you'd enjoy the 1000, lots of torque and while it's not that fast top end the bit that counts ie 50mph to 100 mph its fast. Also easy to work at and if you get a 2014 on model they're economical to run and have better brakes and suspension than the earlier model, though they are the better touring bike. The choice is yours.
I certainly like mine, had it 8 years now and 40k miles, have tried other bikes, versys thou, tracer, tiger 900 but liked the old strom better, more torque and more relaxing to ride. I had a tiger800 before and it was just as fast but I got fed up with having to rev it all the time. I will change mine sometime soon and for a lighter bike but that's just me, 60 now and old race injuries are catching up on me big time.
