Yes, please do!
As Chris has said, they do differ from each other. Obviously they do have similarities too, which is one of the reasons I've now got the evo. I loved the 696, it was so much fun, but having come from much more powerful bikes the novelty kind of wore off and ultimately I needed more shove, not just for me but because I often carry a pillion. I was like "If only this bike had some more grunt..." so the Evo was one of the logical choices, and I prefer the styling over the 1100\1100s.
Don't get me wrong though, on the open road it's a joy. Its only real failing (at least, the only one I'm really bothered about) is the low speed fuelling, IMO.
