Never ridden a 125cc faux-sports bike, so it's hard to comment. But yes, I felt the same. Scrambler style bikes have the advantage of a higher ride height and often give a better view and road presence for their size. But looking a bit cooler means 2nd hand prices will be higher.
The counter argument would be that a Honda CBR125R/similar should be relatively comfortable doing 70mph - which then opens up practice motorway riding on dual carriageways.
