I'm not a cruiser person, but I'll admit that both mentioned bikes look very nice.
That's the bad part, too! Beginning riders (almost) always drop bikes. I dropped mine three times in my first two months! The low-speed maneuvering skill is slow to come and usually results in some scratched fairings or scarred chrome.
What I did (and what I generally suggest) is that beginners buy a mechanically sound rat bike from the eighties. One is less likely to cry when one drops it, and it's waaay easier to pick back up.
At any rate! I hope you find a bike that you dig. Have fun, and (as they say) keep the sticky side down! =)
