The MT-01 sounds incredible! There's a guy in the local motorcycle club that has one with the Akrapovic system on it, man that thing sounds good to follow!
The bt1100 is obviously a much cheaper choice and apparently all the owners of them seem to love them but after a few reviews and youtube videos then the suspension looks pretty spongy and the handling sounds rubbish for spirited riding. Having said that, if you're just cruising in town or a bit of country lanes then i'm sure it'd be fine.
If I had the money i'd go for the MT-01. A valid point about the money saved by buying the bt1100 on improving it although I'd rather buy a bike that was sorted in the first place.

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.
