I'd say they're both a bit weedy for continent crushing. I've never sat on the Peage thinking, oh I'd really like a bit less power here.
If you harbour designs on the 'adventure' theme, KTM Adventure 1190 should be in that pocket and will handle off road with ease. After that maybe a Ducati Multistrada or Tiger 1050?
If you really don't care for the off road stuff the Suzuki GSXS1000f looks just about perfect. Superb, Uber grunty motor and apparently some very useful chops on the Tarmac when you find yourself on continental twisties. Think a GSXR but with high bars, a proper fairing, lower pegs and a dose of manners. Cheap too.
Oh and a budget buster most likely but the new Ducati super sport could be marvellous too. They are much prettier in the flesh - kind of like a sportier Italian take on the VFR750.
