I started out looking at the 650 Silverado as I was down sizing. I did not want the 1100 cc Silverado. I hit a lot of dealers, my concern was longer trips, in the travel to all the dealers I saw a C50T. Did some research decided to go with a C50SE. The FI is the reason I did not go with the VL800.
I am loving the 805cc FI. That 805cc, FI or Carb. is just what I needed.
I can only suggest you ride both. I did not do that as I did not want a second bike. So I waited till my Wing was gone.
Enjoy
