Hey, OKAGGIE! If your wife is going to ride even 10% of the time with you, make sure she tries the pillion position (with you on the front) of both bikes. Make sure the pillion's footrests are in a postion that won't cause her discomfort. My wife absolutely will not tolerate the high pegs on a TBS, and we've never tried the RS. She's okay for long distance rides on my Trophy and my Legend, as both have low pegs that don't cause her to ride with her knees around her ears. And my wife is only 5'4"!
If riding position doesn't rule out one or the other, look long/hard at the RS. It's one sharp looking bike, and the 955 is a strong engine. FI has been sorted out, too, from what I hear. The half fairing will help shield you from those OK winds, too, while letting the air hit the radiator unobstructed.
And finally, I'm guessing you graduated from OSU about 1973-74. What what your major? I was getting my degrees from OSU in about the same time frame (BS'72, MS'74).
