Difference in handling/power, etc between Honda Magna and Honda Shadow

I have a 2001 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 and am also considering a 2000 Honda 750 Magna. I realize the displacement is the same, but one is a twin and the other a 4 cylinder...and that's about all the differences I know. Can someone who has experience with both give me what you see as the differences between them? I'm thinking of giving the Shadow to my wife and getting the Magna...but I'm not sure. Love the sound of the VT750DC.... Thanks!

You probably figured it out by now...
Vtwins have a different power curve than four cylinder engines. Vfour are more performance oriented, VTwin will vibrate, behave and sound more like a HD cruiser. The engine is one thing, but handling is tighly related to suspension, frame stiffness, weight distribution and braking system.

The other critical factor to consider is the driver weight and size. Both are similar in weight, but they do not have the same driving position.
