Thanks again for the replies, hopefully this thread will be useful to others as well.
It definitely sounds like fit is not a problem, and power is adequate. I think I'm at a higher altitude than most of you (4500ft+), so that's going to hurt power a little, but it shouldn't be more than %15. The Thruxton mill sure would be nice, wish they'd been in the 04 SM as well.
I should find myself at the dealer sometime this weekend, and we'll see what happens. I don't think I'm going to get a deal at the showroom by any means, but at least I'll be able to try the bikes on for size.
