My own two cents is that this isn't even a contest, Allan.
Even though I have always marveled at the Rune (I've been riding with a Rune rider for the last 12 years or so), it also has to be considered to be in the same class of bike as our R3, i.e., it is a "bruiser cruiser" and, as such, I don't think that it will offer you much in the way of soul satisfaction over and above that which the big Triumph delivers in spades.
Vive' la difference! Whichever you choose, you really cannot lose.
