Help me choose one?

Confused and need help? I'm thinking of buying my first bike, test drove a lot of models in the 350cc range and narrowed down to the last two between which I'm not able to select one,pls help me choose one.. Purpose: Daily office commute ~ 9kms and weekend rides every few weeks. What I felt after short drive( trips of 100km on each model by renting it) Hness 350 : Like the engine exhaust tone, balance is very very good, nimble through traffic but I feel the power is bit less compared to meteor while overtaking and the rear suspension seems a bit stiff. Felt a bit of heat from the engine while idling in traffic for a long time or driving in hot conditions on trips. Meteor 350: Liked the smoothness, power, suspension is good compared to Hness, comfortable relaxed riding position, was not feeling any heat from the engine. One thing which I felt concerned is about the balance especially with pillion in traffic, I was not struggling but I felt easier navigating through a similar situation with Hness. If I go with Meteor will I be able to get used to the balancing part or will it still feel a bit heavy? Please give your suggestions.
