Default SV650 vs FZ6

So, I tried a friend's FZ6 and it was the first sportbike I found comfy. I really liked how smooth it was.

It was suggested to me to try an SV650. Sadly they seemed to have stopped making them and I haven't been able to find one yet.

So... after reading a lot of forums it became clear that everyone likes everything.

So, here is the deal:

I like riding upright posture.
I will be riding hours on the freeway at 75mph
I want it to carry stuff.
It needs to also be a daily commuter.

I will never be racing it
I will never be doing maneuvers similar to racing it.
I just want a *very* comfortable ride that is efficient and practical and works.

I would like ABS but unless I can find a used SV650 the %%%%%%%s at yamaha aren't bringing the ABS FZ6 to the states (why!??!?!)
