For me, the problems with the S2R would be the single sider (I don't like the engineering or the maintenance implications) and the plastic tank.
Dunno if the 695 tank is plastic or not.
I run a carby M750, cos I don't like too many electronics.....and it has a steel tank and double sided swinger.
I got it shortly after a return to bikes about 10yrs ago, love it, and will keep it forever.
I would say that, broadly speaking there's probably not a lot of difference between the three, on the road, and I can therefore confirm that you are very likely to love it too, whichever you choose.

ps. note that 750s can be had for under £2k nowadays, and have pretty much stopped depreciating.
Might be worth considering...?
There is an injected version.
