It's tricky this, I have a similar predicament as I've been trying to find a replacement for my boxeye, but with no luck finding anything that tempts me enough to get rid of it.
If it's for commuting it's hard top beat the Foxeye. I really think that it'd be the best at commuting. The Thundercat is great bike but I gather the headlight is shit, possibly even shittier than the boxeye which if you're commuting 365 will be annoying. What did you think about the headlight Punkstig?
CBR600F, these are meant to be great, I reckon the build quality will be better than the others although they probably command a higher price because of it. You'd probably want to replace reg/rec unit as soon as you get it as that's the weak link in reliability. I was looking at these primarily as I wanted something a bit sportier than my boxeye for trackdays but I just find it too damn boring.
If the bike was for commuting only, I'd stick with a Fazer, the riding position, visibility, low speed handling, ease of maintenance, low running costs do it for me. We all like to have a change once in a while though don't we :\
