Did you do a direct comparison between the Touring and "regular" Rocket III? Or did you just go in and buy the former?
I have this theory about the "detuning" that everyone has been whining about. We've seen a lot of low mileage Rocket IIIs on ebay and such. I think it was not only too much bike for most people, it was downright scary so a lot of people sold them. This whole detuning thing is mostly a marketing gimmick to get people back in the showrooms.
