Seems like I'm back in Gen 1 land.

Yeah my 'next bike' after the Fazer was always going to be the Sprint 1050 ST rather than the GT. But then by the time I chopped in the Fazer, I wanted something smaller and lighter so I got the Street. It's a lot of fun, just as comfy, handles brilliantly, though not as good as a gen 1 Fazer for distance/luggage/pillion and it's a bit thirsty. I reckon you're right to go back to a gen 1 for pillion work rather than an FJR13 or Sprint though.
