Nice bike, congratulations and wishing you many happy miles! Regarding handling as you said, often I find my Roadglide handles better (differently )than my Softail.
I just bought one like it 2012, and I love the ride on it, it does have alot of features, I just haven't figured out the side saddle bags, the back trunk holds it from opening, I haven't read manual yet, and also I wish it was able to remove the back trunk in and off easily, but I love the bike to just cruise, I have a sportster to but I like the comfort of bike for cruising a little more
