Tiger 900 or Scrambler 1200 xe?

Trying to decide between these two bikes and looking for some input from you lot.

Background: I currently ride a Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. Very spirited bike that is playful and great looking. It’s a blast on road rides but not as practical as I would like. My primary use case is to reduce the mileage I put on my truck each year. My commute is 20 miles each way on a highway between 60-80 mph. I live in Washington state so there is a bit of wind and inclement weather. Temps can also get a little low though realistically I doubt I’ll ride much come winter. I would also love the ability to ride forest service roads and do some very light single track.

I love how the scrambler looks but I’m a little wary for highway miles.
