450 for the passes, or wait for the 750 to land?

Been staring at the Himalayan 750 specs since EICMA and my head is doing the maths for Spiti season. We covered the reveal here on the club too, worth a reread: /p/royal-enfield-himalayan-750-revealed-at-eicma-743cc-54bhp
The numbers that actually matter to me are torque and kerb weight. BikeWale lists 63Nm and 224kg kerb weight, with a tubeless spoke option on the table too. That's real grunt for Kunzum climbs, but it's also a heavier bike to pick up off gravel if you drop it solo, and my 450 already asks enough of me loaded with panniers.
So where do you land. Stick with the 450's lighter, simpler package for Himachal and Ladakh trails, or would you trade some agility for that extra twin cylinder torque on the highway stretches. Vote in the replies, 450 or 750, and tell me why.
