Hypermotard 698 RVE or Hypermotard V2 SP

Hi everyone, I'm currently really torn about what to do. I want to buy my first motorcycle with over 48 horsepower. I love riding a supermoto, so that's what I want. I went to my Ducati dealer and got two quotes: one for the 698 RVE and the other for the new V2 SP.

There's about a €5,000 price difference between the two bikes. Now I don't know what to do.

Should I get the less powerful bike with fewer features, where I can definitely still modify the software, etc.? Or should I go for the more powerful bike right from the start? I'm thinking I'd upgrade the exhaust and other things on the V2 SP, of course. One advantage would be the cruise control and a few other electronic features. Would the extra cost be worth it to you?
