Just wondering what you think of the Hyper 796???

Just left the Ducati dealer here in town. I went to check out the Monster 796, which I really liked. But as I was talking to the dealer, he mentioned I should sit on the Hyper. He has 2 leftover 2010's on sale for $8,795 otd. Which is a hella good deal since the Monster is like $12 otd. I sat on it and it was kinda weird being so tall and skinny, but when I got my feet up on the pegs, it felt nice and comfortable. Of course its good in the twisties, but how is it on long stints or highway runs? Are you kind of a parachute up there being up so tall?

Styling is ok, I kinda like the Monster more. I really need to see if they will let me test them both.
