I just made this decision for myself - I ended up with a F800GS (not the Adventure model)
From hours of research I concluded that you could easily make the standard GS a better bike (protection, xtra gas, etc.) for about the same money as a GSA. Plus it's lighter and has more load carrying capacity than the GSA.
I opted for a 2013+ model - they had the updated rotor (greatly reduces the risk of burning out a stator/rectifier)
I had a 2009 G650GS and that didn't end well. I thought about a ~2007 F650GS (single) but the aftermarket accessories market is starting to get thin compared to the F800.
